I recently discovered that the Luftwaffe boxing of this kit only comes with the unspatted landing gear components, and does not currently include the sprue shown above with the larger bombs and full wheel spats. Knowing ICM, however, we won't have to wait long! - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Yes sometimes you can get both options with later kits a la Gladiator Mk1 and 11. Having got a few of their recent kits I’d say they are comparable to some of the best on offer at a reasonable price Edited November 5, 2020 by Pup7309 Dennis7423 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

esarmstrong Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 The biggest problem with these markings: Not enough of them. Just two schemes when there could be at least a couple more. Hope the after market guys come through with more Italian marking alternates. mpk, alanash1963 and Kagemusha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, ICM may release their own alternative decal sheets. Perhaps this is why we have 2 similar in-box. alanash1963 and esarmstrong 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 This will be on my 2021 buy list with hopefully the SH Westland Whirlwind. Cheers Dennis alanash1963 and Rick Griewski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 It will be interesting to see what the aftermarket come out with for this kit. CR-42's served in a number of colour schemes so there should be plenty of choice. This will definitely be added to my stash for a short while as we wait to see what emerges. A couple of other things. Using the ICM link above, I had a look at the instructions. I hope some brave soul here will post an account of how they attached the top wing. There's so many struts here that it looks very involved. For the last (1/48 scale) CR-42 I built about 20 years ago, I glued in the cabane struts and outer struts, then glued the top wing on. Only once it had dried did I wiggle the other struts into place. Secondly, I read the weekly Hannants new releases email this morning. It's full of items informing of delivery difficulties with new stock, including a line about goods being returned to source, including ICM, thanks to delivery blockages across the Channel. I expect this will take months to sort out. Cheers, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kagemusha Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Delighted they're releasing a fighter-bomber version, much prefer the colours. Not a bad way to model the Luftwaffe version... Martinnfb, Rick Griewski and MikeC 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
