Announced at ScaleModelWorld Telford last month, here is a bit more information on the kit, due for release next year. It won't be cheap, but the detailing is said to be very high Drool

Looks a nice kit, just hope it does not end up being another challenging build as their 1/24 Hawker Typhoon which ended up with prices slashed..

I have seen some previews of this kit elsewhere and it does look nicely detailed, better than their previous 1:24 kits which have been re-released many times in different boxings but always the same rubbish mouldings with poor fit of parts and minimal detail. Pleased to say this one looks a step in the right direction for Airfix.
