Cheers, Tom Unbeknownst to me, the one I had previously selected and bought decals for months ago is in that data range. Lucky me! I'll be building N3290, GR-U of 92 Squadron. Lost on 23 May 1940 after combat with Bf-110's/Bf-109's. Crash-landed in France, pilot J A Gillies was a POW for the remainder of the war. It's a sharp looking bird, with the natural metal cowling and underfuselage, with the black/white wing and horizontal bottoms. - Dennis S.

Mount Juliet, TN USA I'm in a similar boat, have some masks for DW-E R6629 which is a Spitfire Ia, so am going to do GR-G P9372, and I'll do DW-E later, the pilot has the same surname as a mate, Manton, was from the NW of England, was killed quite early on, but no less brave than the most successful of aces. Which reminds me, might have posted before, but here are some profiles by Mark Syling, they're from the Osprey books, link.

Landrotten Highlander Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I have not been following this thread for a while so this may be old news for some. Got in touch with Jadlam where I pre-ordered the Kotare-kit and they informed me that the kit is expected summer 2023. Hope that there will be no more delays...

For those that ordered direct from Kotare, they sent an email that said they should be shipping February/March time frame. I ordered direct personally but I personally would not be that worried if it took another year. However I suspect we will have our kits by Summer. Since they added parts for the first round of delay, if they delay and add parts every three months, I should get the kit and need no aftermarket. coogrfan and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
