Strange that Dutch version with long greenhouse canopy is not planned.

The Model 139WH-3 (aka the Dutch version with the long canopy) had a different forward fuselage (deeper to accommodate larger bomb load, modified aiming position) and the wings were changed outboard of the nacelles.  The wing platform changed to a (nearly) straight trailing edge, with greater sweep on the leading edge.  Plus the canopy change, of course. Not a simple change.

Always wanted the Williams Brothers kit, however have to say this new tool B-10 looks great. I’ll be opting for the Dutch East Indies Boxing, however that Argentinian Navy option looks very nice indeed. 
Cheers.. Dave

Mike,

 

Agreed!  For me, the USAAC livery is the classic look for the B-10!

The Dutch flew it in blue and yellow too. Not sure if that is included in the first boxing.
