Man, my wallet is hating me. Between this and the ZM Horton also coming out at the same time, November is shaping up to be an expensive month. I might just wait a bit before getting it since I know it will be around for a while.

That's going to make a lot of people happy, including Tamiya I imagine. I'll add one to my pile, with plans for a British Pacific Fleet aircraft. One of the Canadian pilots for sure, I'm pretty sure no Poles served in the Fleet Air Arm...

Can anybody give us a readers digest version of the differences between -1A and a -1D?? Just curious!

Thanks and cheers

Mainly the frames across the top of the canopy were deleted, and pylons were added under the wing roots. Also I think the undersides of the outer wings were metal skinned due to rockets being carried there. Some minor cockpit changes too.

The Birdcage and the -1A were basically the same, with minor changes.

These there the new canopy, a^raised seat and NO hardpoints. Fieldmods included a CL rack for a drop tank or a 1000lbs bomb.

Later -1A (number 551 and later) got a water/methanol injection.
