JPuente54 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I found the above kit, along with an Airfix Ju 88A-4(already did this in the WW2 forum), at a local hardware/ironmongers/DIY(select your favourite) store. The price is $12.99USD. The catalogue no. is AO3007. What I would like to know is this a reboxing of an old kit, or a new tool. Anybody know?

tempestfan Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This kit actually IS 03029 -you swopped the numbers. The A-4 is Airfix's new tool and a better deal than the 88. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPuente54 Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ooops! my mistake! I just checked my thread on the WW2 forum for the Ju 88A-4(one wrote that it is closer to an A-5); and was told that I had mixed up the catalogue numbers. I am glad to read that it is a new(the A-4B) kit; I now know to get it. At this price, it is a bargain. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I have just finished building the old tool Airfix A-4 Skyhawk. According to Scalemates, it was first issued in 1958 and has a grand total of 19 parts. I bought it for 50p at a model show. I wouldn't pay anything more for it. There is no way you would confuse their old tool A-4 with the new tool version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempestfan Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Your kit must've been incomplete - without looking up the instructions, it should have 26 parts without the stand, from memory. Besides, its shape and outline is rather good. And not a rivet in sight... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPuente54 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 Guys, I got the Airfix A-4B a couple of hours ago; tempestfan, you are correct; it is a better deal than the old Ju 88. It is a nice looking kit just looking at it. Oh, Eric, this one has 75 parts. Thanks for every thing, the guys at BM come through again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
