This kit has one fuselage and two sets of wings. The fuselage and one wing set have raised panel lines. But it looks like just the fuselage is used for all variants.(guess I get some practice at scribing) and also has ......... you guessed it,sink marks Not as many as the ICM kit at least. The other set of wings and rest of the parts have really nice recessed panel lines and ...NO sink marks ... so just the fuselage with raised panel lines is used. And of course very thick clear parts

Nice one Thunderbird! Will look forward to this and see how it compares to the Seafire XVII. Shows how long I had been out of the hobby, I didn't even realise that this kit existed!! Andy __________________ Andy ---------------------------------- On the bench: Tamiya 1/48 Spitfire Mk.I

It will be interesting to see how both kits turn out in the build. I see some nice detail! looks like you are handling the sink marks well. __________________ Ted pinterest pg. of scale models/dioramas: http://www.pinterest.com/intrstinpintrst/awesome-scale-models/
