Last night I picked up the (relatively) new 1/48 scale Trumpeter Wyvern S.4. I know almost nothing about the aircraft and bought it on a whim when I was getting another model that I had actually gone there for (I like the blk/yellow Suez markings). The box art shows two of these flying over the Suez Canal with drop tanks, under-wing rockets, and 4x internal wing cannons.
As I looked through the instructions and examined the plastic, I noticed that the instruction sheet diagrams show wing guns capped over with some sort of bullet-nosed fairing; the actual plastic wing pieces also are molded with the gun tubes capped. My question are: Did the Wyvern fly in the Suez ops with the wing guns removed and the tubes capped or is this some sort of concession to some other version that had the guns removed? Has anyone yet made resin detail set(s) for it, particularly cockpit and ejection seat? Anyone know?
