This is good news, but hope the guy that showed off this image is not the norm for the kit.

I can see the beautifully molded parts with amazing detail! Hopefully in the future, Airfix will do a 1/24th Skyraider and bring even more excitement by including lots of movable features like control surfaces, retracting gear, hinged access panels,sliding canopy, folding wings, etc. These-along with other features could create a super impressive, museum quality model!
