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.

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.
