    Loris , but it is exactly the same kit. I mean the Airfix one. BILEK re-boxes many of old kits that aren't offered any longer by the main manufacturers.

    All is fine Loris, I understand you totally.. But what would you do if you didn't find the Airfix one? I can see two solutions only. Either you can buy the BILEK kit ot scratch build it yourself.Am I right?

    A styrene snob? That's a first!
    “The entrance to the cockpit of this aircraft is most difficult. It should have been made impossible.” — Flight Journal magazine, April 2000, regards the XF10F-1, Grumman's first attempt at a swing wing fighter.

    @ Vick - A styrene snob indeed.

    It looks like there is a brand new 2010 release.

    I agree...... Today I could have a look at the new Airfix 2010 catalogue. But I have gone through Dragon and Zvezda ones only. I'll do it the next time.
