Looks good, however "various armament options" really? you can have missiles, missiles or at a push missiles! THC |

The cannon ports are separate inserts, so you can have a two or four gun layout, so whilst I would agree that 'various' is stretching things a bit, you can have missiles with wither two or four guns. I'm disappointed that they didn't go the whole hog with a F2/6 kit, Red Tops and inserts for the belly guns wouldn't have been a big deal. peebeep |

But, I would imagine, as a dual F.2A/F/6 kit it would have limited the decal options if there were only two schemes. |

Matchbox managed it! ![]() If in a couple of weeks they announce a separate F6 boxing, I'll be a happy bunny. Or even if it's this time next year. To have the leader of the pack in 1/72 Lightnings and not maximise the permutations vis a vis marks/schemes would be perverse. peebeep |
