BEWARE anyone modelling the BN-2T Turbine Islander (RAF) version.     Apologies if this has been mentioned in another post,  I have looked but cannot see it anywhere.

 

The decal sheet supplied in this version of the kit is INCORRECTLY PRINTED.   The  serial numbers printed on the sheet are" ZF536"  & "ZF537".

 

ZF536 does NOT EXIST.

ZF537 is a LYNX Mk. 9.

 

It  should read ZH536 & ZH537.

 

Hope this info may stop someone mucking up their model.

That box art is alsmost as horrible as the paint scheme of the real thing.

I've just recieved the RAF boxing to go with my partly finished Rhodesian Air Force version.  The decal registration certainly is terrible on the RAF boxing to the point the roundels are unusable.  Is anyone aware of planned after market decals for the AAC versions?
