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...
