The kit is excellent but as only 26 MkII’s were built it can only be finished as a 3 or 17 Sqn aircraft, all the other 8 units used MkIIA;s
which have a different engine with no valve covers and a retractable oil cooler, maybe Airfix plan on issuing a MkIIA at a later date or maybe someone will come up with a resin engine.

Hi Bob – looks like good info here and thanks for sharing. As ever with many manufacturers, they release the less popular version ahead of what most might consider the most popular version that should lead to greater sales of their products in the long run. Hope all’s well? Best wishes, GC
