not sure if this is a new one or a slightly improved version of the one i talked about last year. Has a better tail gun position and clear nose (the other one's was solid).

exact same size as the other one....1/19 scale.

opinions?
i never met an airplane i didn't like...

yes from the front it does look a bit stubby. I'll probably get one as it may well be the best thing we get in this size. If i don't like the looks of it in person i'll disguise it a bit by posing it being hit by flak...or rammed by a 109 or something.
