Excellent news from WEM, I must admit I'm kinda holding off building this kit until there are a few more aftermarket bits out for it as I'm not keen on a few of the details (spinner, underwing tanks etc) the wheels and legs didn't look right but WEM look like they're getting it spot on which is great news! Please Mr Snyder, can we have a nice wing fold set and a few other choice items please Howard

Hi Nige I agree with Howard - these look like a "must have"! With Radu on the case, the Sea Fury couldn't be in better hands! All the best Rowan

Hi Howard, I'll pass the wing-fold suggestion along to the decision-makers. FYI, we're also working on a cockpit, main gear doors, and the spinner.

Price for the main gear legs, item number Pro 4801, is now set at 7.02 Pounds (UK/EU customers add VAT), with free shipping worldwide. You can pre-order now, with no charge made until we ship your order.

Hi John that is good news ... can you estimate what the whole bunch of goodies (pit, wheelbay, wheels, u/c legs, spinners and what else Trumpeter goofed up will cost? Is anything on the model right? Any improvement over the HC kit? I must say that I do not have the kit, but Radu's stuff looks so nice that I maybe get it ... Almost forgot: What material will be used...metal, resin, IM ? Thanks! all the best Steffen

Fantastic news John Thank you so much for that.. Whilst your at it the fuselage rivets don't look too good, maybe you guys should just make a new kit On a more serious note I will wait until you guys have all your "fixes" for the kit ready and buy them in bulk if thats ok. Thanks again Howard
