Sorry - my finger must have slipped. It is quite badly behaved! I have now ordered my copy from the Ukraine via Ebay. It looks from the decal sheet that there are 4 options, 3 RAF and 1 civil, which follow the offerings in the S&M kit.

The Provost arrived quite quickly - it is a small kit in a rather large box. It looks very good, good detailing, fine panel lines etc.  Count me happy with it.

Mine arrived from Ukraine at the weekend and it looks like it will be a very interesting kit to build.

 

Box is a bit roomy which is not a bad thing as it will prove useful for storing sub assemblies once I get started on it unlike several kits I have bought lately which have had boxes crammed so full of parts that I can never seem to get the sprues to fit back in again after taking a look at them.

Take care. Canopy fit is b......t .  🤬 🤬

Would be very interested to see how you assemble the canopy. The windscreen shape (curve) doesn't fit with the shape of the two (yes two... ) parts composing the canopy. Did MikroMir ever test built or test fit the kit before placing it on the market? I do have some reservations. 

The clear parts mould has to be redesigned to say the least.

We are in a hurry to improve the situation. The mold is already milled. Now there will be 3 parts - front, center and back

Yippee.  Just played an order.

 

I'm very disappointed.  Despite ordering and paying 7 weeks ago after repeated requests for update I've just been informed my purchase has only been posted this week😥
