Can you make a Beau I from the new Revell TF.X Kit?

Yeah, that's what I was wanting to say.  In addition, the "enclosure" around the pilot's position (y'know, that big clear part) was subtly different on the Mk.I, or at least early ones.  Not that many people are likely to (or expected to) care, but it is true.

 

My problem with the kit, though, is getting my hands on one!

p.s. So (if I remember right) it gives you two generations of "cranked" tail- one definite plus over Tamiya's- and also allows for with or without the dorsal fin/fillet.  Also includes some other optional parts, so a reasonable variety provided for.  Somewhere I saw it said that it wasn't "too" hard to convert the Tamiya parts to flat tail, so perhaps the same is true of Revell.  There is also at least one resin "flat tailplane" (made for Tamiya) available.

There is this one, which seems to fit okay on the Revell kit but we haven't actually built one like that.

Depending on which desert one you model, you may need a different rear cupola
