Brengun continues the product line of 1:72 scale Hawker Typhoon and releases two more boxings of the early/mid “cardoor” version of the famous bird.

I'm slightly intrigued as to why the box art shows a Typhoon crashing into water? Seems like an odd choice for the cover art of a kit.

It was very, very difficult to survive ditching a Typhoon, and Lt. Manák (czech pilot of RAF 198 Sqn.) was able to do it while at the controls of Typhoon TP N. In fact, if you check just the next pic...

...you'll be able to read it for yourself. So, we have an aircraft wich did not like ditching, a czech pilot who did it, a new czech kit of that aircraft, it's not so hard to understand the somewhat "odd" box art, don't you think?
