Also new mould:
"New tool" Buccaneer? Some of the features and bits in the image do look tempting but will they actually step up and provide a weapons bay and possibly the reconnaissance package? The original kit was lacking any features or options for the bomb bay save for the fuel tank bulge vs straight flat bottom.
This is what they are showing so far<snip>It wouldn't surprise me though to see updates in the future.

Before it's arrival they had "A" wings - six or eight .303in MGs, "B" wings - two 20mm and two .303in MGs, "C" wing two 20mm and two .5in MGs, "D" with four 20mm.

Type A to E. Note type D is the recce wing. http://spitfiresitei .com/2010/04/concise-guide-to-spitfire-wing-types.html
