Its been out for a little while now, I have one and it looks really nice in the box but I can't speak for its accuracy.

Where did you get it from? I've not seen it advertised yet?

EDIT: Its listed on Hannants site as a "Future Release" at £34.99 (ouch! lets hope its more accurate than the Sea Vixen!), so Oliver where did you get yours and how much did you pay?

I got mine from HLJ, it cost about £21 shipped because i pre ordered it with them and got the early bird discount. It was shipped to me on the 25/1/12 and i got it on the 10/2/12.

Kit comes with full Operation Musketeer stripes too.After looking at it more thoroughly one think that will definately need to be replaced are the ejection seats which aren't the best. The problem that this may pose though is that it looks like a small portion of the bottom of each seat is molded to the cockpit floor.

The other problem is that the ejection seats were unique to the aircraft and not done.

I'm wondering whether it makes sense buying Dragon version, when there is a CMR Version that is likely to be more accurate OOB and nearly the same price (if you add in the seat cost.)

Hanannts list the Dragon CH one at £34.99 and the CMR one at £39.99 now granted the CMR one does not have the wing fold, and if you want it then its extra.

Has anyone seen the CMR one to comment?

It strange CMR have always been about this type of money, plastic used to be cheaper, but the pastic seems to be edging towards the resin?

Think I'll stick with the Eastern Express nee Frog kit and a set of Model Art decals, at least I know what I'm up against and would probably look just as good when completed.
