In order not to spend a lot of time regurgitating information from existing threads on this forum or elsewhere (some of these may still be active, so just copying information risks losing newer inputs as well), here are some links, with a bit of description regarding what's being discussed: Wheels, propellers, aftermarket exhausts: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...02#entry1102325 Seat belts: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...topic=234924520 Cannons: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...topic=234921828 Colours - High Speed Silver, wheel wells and doors, seat: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...topic=234922980 General thread with excellent sprue images: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.p...topic=234920475 An accuracy comment: Compared to drawings and to the Aeroteam Mk.21 and the Ventura Mk.22, the cowling bulges over the engine rocker covers appear to be too short at the rear by at least 1mm. I haven't dug out a photo to confirm this yet, though. I haven't even decided whether it's worth the trouble of correcting it, either; I just thought I'd throw it out there and spoil everyone else's enjoyment of the kit... John |
