Hi Andy
It does look very nice! Enough to tempt even a propeller-head like me!
As regards the canopy packed in with the main sprues - it's certainly not Eduard standard-practice, so I wonder whether Airfix supply them with the plastic parts ready-bagged?
All the best

This kit just screams "build me", so I am going to . If you are going to buy one I suggest you do it soon, as this is a limited edition kit. I wonder if they will sell out as fast as the Spitfire they did ?

It is possible, but Eduard would still be required to put the bags into the new box, thus someone should have spotted the clear parts weren't packed separately. Oh well its about the only downside of this kit, so I can't complain .

all the best
