To co-inside with the release an excellent double build article appears in the Model Aircraft Monthly Magazine, this is the December 2008 issue which will assist any modeller with this set or the 4000lb installation. Please note that the sets used in the magazine were pre-production sets and the resin parts do differ slightly and no decal sheet was available at that time for the modellers and they created there own decal markings.
