Paul J Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 The artwork sells it to me. Missed out the first time the kit appeared. BUT....where will put it!!??? Another BUT... it would have been a corker if Airfix re did their 48th and 1/72nd one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brewerjerry Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Hi So it this identical to the previous release but with new decals ? Cheers Jerry Edited December 22, 2014 by brewerjerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Yup, it's got an "A" after the code, so that indicates a rebox with new decals. No big deal, Hasegawa have been doing it for years and it gives the guys who missed out last time a chance to get one. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Brown Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Nice to see this re-issue. Better start saving, missed it first time round and I'm too "normal" to pay the current fleabay prices. Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyrre Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Just note that the artwork is wrong in regards to the code. It should be VV-A. Of course, that's an easy fix. Also note that by the time 235 Sqn flew with the VV-code they no longer used this rocket setup. They would have them tiered, two by two, to allow for 100 gallon tanks.

Cheers for clarifying that,.....my first thought upon seeing the artwork was `very nice- but those codes don`t look right'! I was checking up to see if Airfix knew something that I didn`t but now you`ve cleared it up. AV was used by 121 (Eagle) Sqn and continued after the unit became the 335th FS of the USAAF.

Mick_Gannon Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Alley Cat did think about the bomber conversion, but due to the poor sales of all of their mossy conversions and the limited production of the model it self, they relised that there were not enough sales to warrant the work required to do the conversion.
