Hi

Anyone know if this is a re release of the one with the wing fit issues ?

cheers

It's described as "New", which means it's new to this year's catalogue compared to last year's.

"New Tooling" is used to describe the all-new products. It doesn't say this for the Mosquito, so assume it will be the same plastic as last time,

Cheers,

Bill.

Hi Jerry

what wing fit issues? Not heard of this. I know the kit has two upper wings, as it's the old FB VI kit plus new parts to build a PR/B XVI.

The only real issue I know of is the cruder nature of the newer parts...

I like the SEAC option though!

So, excuse my ignorance, but does this new have the two-stage supercharger nacelles?

Yes, Airfix provide all of their original FBVI kit with additonal upper wings and nacelles for the 2-stage Merlins, as well as an additonal bomber/PR fuselage,

Cheers,

Well as soon as it hits my LHS I'll be happy then. Just had the heads-up e-mail from Airfix. Slipped a bit from the scheduled date but not too bad I suppose.
