Is it possible to download assembly instructions ?

Is there any intel on the new Harrier 1/24 A18001V? I hope it will be more detailed with inspection bays open and that it is not just a basic re-release..

Horten Ho229 1/32 from Zoukei-Mura: Amazing

I build planes 1/32 from Zoukei-Mura or 1/24 from Airfix (the Hellcat F6F) I particularly appreciate the internal details that can be made visible with open access hatches and I don’t hesitate to cut half the fuselage and a wing if the interior is worth it! I like being able to release the engine on dolly if possible. An old model is more interesting for aging that is endless. In fact I do not finish them, when I get to the decals I have enough.. I look forward to the next Harrier 1/24 and hope there will be some interesting (ext & internal) details . I can’t properly open inspection hatches when it’s not in the kit, building missing ribs as on the F6F is difficult. I lay some control cables in fine piano rope but it’s tricky

/media/tinymce_upload/a9af9412a7de72fea44cf63c9e1ad591.jpgOn the model there is three unsual command'box on upper left side in the cockpit above trim. Who has authentic photos of the cockpit' left side showing these box? Can the developers of Airfix publish these photos? This is the picture I can find, and there is no control'box..

The pipe n°56 are bended and the bow is toward the center. This was not obvious (for me) on the the assembly step 153, I did it wrong 😢 I find difficult to glue this small pipe : some tiny pin on these pipe and hole in cylinder'head would be helpfull for the next release. Any way I congratulate the Hellcat'team: this a very nice model,I like very much all these details

Would Airfix think about living hatches open with separate lid for the future model, espescially when there is smth interesting inside for large scale 1/24-32? It could be an advantage regarding other brand.. ? I will probably open the fuselage'hatches near the cockpit of the new Hellcat :)

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_F6F_Hellcat While all F6F-5s were capable of carrying an armament mix of one 20-mm (.79-in) M2 cannon in each of the inboard gun bays (220 rounds per gun), along with two pairs of .50-in (12.7-mm) machine guns (each with 400 rounds per gun), this configuration was only used on later F6F-5N night fighters.[30]

I find these pictures https://www.cybermodeler.com/aircraft/f6f/f6f_walk.shtml First I thought a belt for a 20mm canon and the 2 others for the 0.5 M2
