Nice looking kit.
Wayne/Heinz, A4K is more or less right, but there's a bit more to it than that. The designation, i.e. B,C etc, stemmed from the wing type, and the cannon bulges were placed according to fitment of weapons. The 'stub' fairing for instance, could be a capped, redunsant tube for a cannon, or could mount a Browning .50 cal. This could be inboard OR outboard, depending on fit!
The main 'problem' area is with the MkIX/XVI, where the bulges can be confusing; the MkV series wasn't quite as bad, although the MkVc was not neccessarily tropicalised, again it was a 'C' wing, designed to mount 2 x 20mm per wing, although this was not a common fit.

I saw that one today, Trebor. She's a beauty. Go for the Brit markings.

Here's what my youngest son and I picked up. First his...

The Italeri was $10. :cool: What for it... I've got more.

But... huh, say what? The shop keep had some "plastic display models" that were in the window for $10 each. Okay. I'm a sucker.

Get a friggin' load of this. $10 each. 1/72nd Italeri. The C-130J includes a color booklet. The XB-35 includes both counter-rotating props or 4-blades. $10 bucks? Are you kidding me? These models have incredible detail and a wingspan of more than 2 feet!!! The XB-35 has unbelievable cockpit detail.

I'm in heaven. :toothy5:

As far as I know, I think that I only miss the superglue and new decals, the ones that I bought are a tad too large for the Mosquito, think that they're for the Lancaster and the likes.... :oops: And a hold fold for the etch...

That is, if you profesionals don't have anything to add?
