Hi Tim

Thanks for the News. I hope those panel lines aren't as heavy when the kit's released (but I fear it's too late for any change). It looks like Airfix have employed the old Matchbox trench-digger! I was really looking forward to the Sea Fury, but these pics have put me off.

All the best

I would tend to agree with you Rowan, those panel lines look heavy. I thought it might be the lighting, but the weak shadows under the model suggests otherwise. Hopefully Airfix has emphasised the panel lines with a wash, but we will see.
I am not trading in my Trumpeter Sea Fury kits just yet, although they do have some issues..
