I see that Hannants has finally received stock on Revell's new 1/72 Ju.88A-1 kit. The cost of shipping to Canada is rather prohibitive so I'll have to wait for a retailer in Canada or the U.S. to get them in.
Even though I will not be getting one of these kits as quickly as I'd like, it has not stopped me from examining pictures of the parts. No surprise that Revell has used their A-4 kit with the appropriate changes for the A-1 variant. The one thing that I am wondering about are the exhausts for the engines. I wonder if Revell has erred in this regard?
I have not been able to find any clear pictures of this area of the A-1, but I did come across this image of a manual:
Unlike the A-4 variant, there appears to be 6 exhaust stubs running the length of the exhaust opening. While examining images of the kit's sprues on IPMS Germany's First Look website, the sprue with the new engine parts appears to have an exhaust set up like the A-4's:
Can anyone confirm this?
Thanks.
