Unfortunately not. The turrets are different. You'd need to get the 1a boxing or be prepared to do a lot of work. If you look at the instructions you'll see turrets parts for the 1 are sprue F1, for the 1a sprue F2. F2 is twice the size of F1. Great kit though whichever release you choose.

So are we just supposed to say oh that's great and move on? Can't people express a negative opinion about something? I thought some manufacturers actually looked at these pages and some even take note of the feedback, good and bad. I personally like the subject, but there are ships I'd sooner see kitted, especially some that really existed!

They do have the same orientation on the real aircraft and as far as I can see they do on the images above.

I couldn't see anything that said brand new tooling other than the top and bottom hatches. Do you have a link to the source please? Thanks -
DM Model Kit - Ford Sierra 4x4 (Mobil & Q8) 1/24

So it's a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth I assume? -
I agree, unless they're closing up shop they're bound to be releasing a new kit sometime. I really don't like the "we're going to release something" announcements unless they at least tell you when they're going to tell you what it is. Otherwise it's a bit like them telling you they're still in the office doing stuff.

Now you've said that I am! Would really like a later model Cosair.

Would make an excellent diorama.

A new 1/12 formula one car would be nice.

1/48 - Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor by I Love Kit - released
Richard123 replied to Homebee's topic in The Rumourmonger
The error is in the numbers. Actual aircraft is 44' 6" in span which equates to 282.6mm at 1/48, length is 62' 1" - 394.2mm. I Love Kit quote 283.6 x 328.9. They're close on span but well off on length. From SleeperService's image the kit looks good proportionally so they must be off on at least one of their numbers. I don't know how SleeperService scaled the photo but if the kit is only 328.9mm long it's closer to 1/58 scale and I think that would have been noticeable. But I agree without knowing the span of the kit I don't know if it's wrong, but the numbers definitely are. -

Looks like they got their numbers wrong, if you check SleeperService's excellent comparion with a photo in a previous post the kit seems pretty good lengthwise. I just wish they wouldn't do the raised areas all over the aircraft for the stealth features. I wonder, if they do a Spitfire will the green areas on the camouflage be raised to show us where to paint that colour?
