Well, well...
Just the usual case it seems. Guess who got the earlier Gavia boxing of the Lysander in his stash, as well as Eduard's PE set and an aftermarket Vickers machine guns for the Finnish version.
If the limited edition's only real difference to the Gavia release is the resin MG and ski undercarriage, not that big a deal. I hope they release a separate canopy mask set as well.

That is an interesting scheme, and very colorful! I will be looking at Frank Lukes bird using aftermarket decals, and perhaps if a dual combo were to come my way, an aircraft from the Storks. I am REALLY looking forward to the later release of the EARLY XIII. Lots of schemes I plan to do!
