Very nice. But I did the SEAC one some years ago on my refurb and updated with Aeroclub bits FROG kit which I no longer have. BUT I do have the Aviaeology sets waiting for this kit.....

However I can only view a few of the schemes on the Airfix site, the ones that don't work for me are the Shackleton and Whitley. The drop down menu button works but nothing happens?

Paul, this normal happens to me if I view these on a device like an iPad, however it all works wonderfully well on the home desktop PC.

Cheers .. Dave

Its my home laptop that gives me grief sometimes. It labors a bit at times. Maybe far too many photos svae don it and time for me to shift them on to an external device.

Are those longer Carburetor intakes on those Bristols?

Looks like it, and If I recall matches the proposed decal schemes as well.

Any sign of a Mk. XXI Auto pilot lump?

Cheers .. Dave

Sprue shots on Prime Portal. The kit is designed to allow a late mark/post war mk 10 with the extended fin and radome (But no sprue visible)

I assume they decided that doing them as literally one big thick solid piece would have risked sinkage. So they have gone as far down the one-piece route as they dare, and then left the minimum possible, "no way to mess it up" inserts for the builder to drop in.
