A kopius amount of KP new kit koolness in the koolest skale which we know is ... 1/72.
Product description says these are new molds. Not Special Hobby reboxes.

Oh, a new S-199 from KP? Makes sense. Given that Eduad announced one last year.
Same wih the Tempests. V. Sulc of Eduard announced a planned cooperation with Special Hobby (as with the 1/72 109Es) in a Czech hobby forum late last year. And now KP has a hunch of Tempests in the making.

This KP vs Eduard/Special Hobby thing is getting ridiculous.

Agree. Have had this discussion with other BTS members.

There are still too many new molds/kits which really do not substantially improve on what is already available in the market.

New kits should if financially feasible should backfill subjects which have never been properly made or a specific version which has not been. Or bring a new lower cost option if the only one is in resin or vacuform. The CAC-15 Kangaroo would be a good example.

For example the new Special Hobby 1/72 DH Hornet replacing the ancient Frog and Skybirds 86 molds is a good example.

Supermarine Spitfire PR.Mk X

The PR Mk X appeared in Spring 1944 (long after the PR Mk XI). It was the PR version of the standard Mk VII fighter, produced by matching the fuselage from a Mk VII with the wings from the PR Mk XI, with the guns replaced by two 66.5 gallon fuel tanks. Only sixteen were produced, and it was withdrawn in September 1945.

Supermarine Spitfire PR.Mk XI

The PR Mk XI was produced in greater numbers than any other PR variant, with over 470 produced in total. It was based around the Mk IX fuselage, but with the extra fuselage fuel tanks of the standard PR variants as well and wing mounted tanks. It first flew on 21 November 1942, and entered service in the summer of 1943.

The PR Mk XI used a universal camera installation, which allowed the cameras to be easily swapped. This allowed a much wider variety of cameras to be used. Common variants included two F.52 cameras with a 36in focal length, two F.8s (20in), one F.52 (20in) and two F.24 (14in) combined with one F.24 (14in or 8in) in an oblique position. Some also carried a 5 inch F.24 just behind the wheel well for low to medium level tactical reconnaissance.
