Looks like theiy're releasing the ugly version first.

Go ugly early you mean.

 

Personally I prefer the later versions, they make the Beau more brutal

The missing part on the sprue in the last picture is a second (short) nose for the NF. Hopefully there will be some pictures coming to Show the delicate and superbly detailed landing gear. This is not the last TS.

Does it include the thimble nose as found on the 45 Sqdn Beaus in Malaya in the 1950's? I hope so!

And on others eg some Mk VI nightfighters and MK X Coastal Command machines.

Either way thats the nose for me along with the fin extension for the later at least.

Can't make out on my phone if this is in the sprue shots or not.

 It kind of looks like the dorsal fin extension in the the middle of the upper right hand sprue (below the torpedo), along with the fin part other half, but the leading edge part doesn't look blunt enough to me?

Two sets of tailplanes? Top right and centre right sprue. That could be good.

The Airfix 1/72nd scale kit had two sets as well but still did not cover the early non-dihedral tail.
