    I *think* it’s on the clear sprue.

    According to my instructions F2 is the back of the nose turret and F3 is the housing. F1 and 4 are the front gun frames, left and right. It sure is a minefield!

    PM sent, Simon.

    The problem with the HK kit is that the cockpit is a work of fiction.

    They don’t have many left. The 10% preorder discount may have helped a bit.

    That’s good news, Simon. I completely agree with you on the separate box idea too!

    Similar for me!

    Too early release of the moulding process and insufficiently polished tools.

    Fair enough, to be honest I hadn’t thought of that!

    The instructions are available for download from Scalemates, Simon.

    Excellent, thank you. I’m planning on modelling W4118 which, I believe (and hope) was fitted with early, oval, holed jackets.

    Hadn’t thought of that, a spanner could be thrown the works, there. Thanks for that, Simon.

    Thanks, Mike, I have to admit that 500 did seem low at the time, despite the price point.

    I have a set of Master Barrels on back order. In 1/32 they will make a massive difference to the finished model. There are also the Profimodel ones but at almost £14 more I don’t think they are worth it.

    500 worldwide I believe with no chance of a further production run.

    The UK importers Albion Alloys have opened each of the boxes the were supplied with before sending them on to distributors. I understand that they will replace any broken parts.

    They are a Chinese company and as far as I am aware all of their kits, except for the Lancaster, are new tools designed and produced by them.

    The aircraft pictured on the box art is the top one shown in the markings options.

    The problem with that is that Haynes aren’t producing those books anymore.

    In my experience with Airfix rrp and preorder prices are usually the same.

    The upper surface of both wings has the top cowling panel attached. Nothing that a quick slash or two with a razor saw can’t fix.

    It’s too squat, which is a shame. If the pilots seat is correct and at the right height it shouldn’t fit. Have a look on YouTube (Nigel’s Modelling Bench). He’s done a fix by merging parts of the HK and Tamiya canopies!

    I bought the I❤️Kit version of this at Telford yesterday. Research beckons 🙂.

    The intakes on the real aircraft aren’t seamless, they have removable access panels which would be almost impossible to model, especially in 1/72.
