Thanks for the review, Bill!! :D
Regarding the Lotus 80, I think I have in my files a decal set, even I think I have an original S27 set to spare 8)

Two of the kits were similar to that, yes. And an S27 Press version. Struck out on all 3....and 2 MFH Lotus 94s! I REALLY wanted one of those beauties, but no. Bugger. :wink:

Got a 1/72 Type VII C/41 submarine (Platinum Edition) and boy, the base kit is pretty ok detailwise, but in the PE (note the pun) version you got bombarded with PE goodness. I think the manual / assembly instructions for the PE parts has more pages than the base kit. You even get a wooden deck with it. Although I'm not sure if I'm going to use that one as it is lacking a bit in depth.
Cheers,
Roman
