Interesting, please do tell us more.

Only information I have so far is a part number (a12013), and if the description is correct it's a year too late...

Thanks seven.
Just received email from Airfix. Will include collectors coin and parts for Black Buck aircraft.

Aaaaaaand they've effed it up..

Research team at Airfix yet again only looking at pictures and not asking anyone of experience.

Update, now actually got my hands on one (which is a miracle in itself with Hornby printing half of the billing address ahead of the delivery address!), in addition to the obvious error, the new parts are distinctly lacking in detail, and the Shrikes are more or less unusable. And on top of that 163 (RAF Dark Green) is discontinued in the enamels...

If anybody wants more detail go to rumourmonger on the Britmodeller site; a very basic mistake.
