Pic of the HE 111 up on the Advent Calendar page for today. Could well be the boxtop image. |

I would say, looking at previous calendar images, it is. |

Unless they have Cadburys behind the window it wouldn't appear here. |

4th December. Possibly the cruellest competition conditions of all time? Do you need £100 that badly? |

Doubtless a policy decision but this year's Calendar seems dreary and disappointing. Hope they change this policy in respect of the calendar for next year. Bring back the teasers... |

Today's teaser. (The photo is titled 'teaser 6' so we might be due at least another five. The photo for the teaser on 9 December is 'teaser 7'...). Short-nosed twin prop with a relatively narrow fuselage. ![]() The wrapping in some areas obviously isn't conforming to the plastic itself but whilst my gut feeling is a Westland Whirlwind, there's some Beaufightery in there too.

The late Mk. Blenheim still hasn't been released, if this is it, not so much teased as short changed! |

What, still no Cadbury's chocs? Vastly disappointing. |

I'm working on the basis that the Blenheim has already been announced in the later variants and that Airfix are showing 'new' tools, rather than adapted ones. The port wing shows a bulge in the leading edge where rocket rails would be on the Beau. Just proportionally in the photo the fuselage looks quite slim which possibly would point to a Whirlwind - but then that bulge in the wing becomes difficult to quantify. |

Good points, well presented. If it is (brand) new I'd have to go Beaufighter, explains the wing lumps. The portion of the necelle under the wing looks too small for a Whirlwind. . . . Long nose for a Beau though? Si. |
