This kit has the same beautiful details found in the previous releases but this time the kit includes both types of fuselages, both types of landing gear, and both types of exhaust manifolds so you can replicate just about any H-34 variant. This kit also includes the external tank and rack carried on the aircraft's port side which is used in the Antarctic aircraft but not mentioned in the instructions.
There are three distinctive subjects in this box and with the additional parts included in this release, there are lots of possibilities available using aftermarket decals. This is the best release of the H-34 from Gallery Models to date and still the best H-34 kit in any scale to date.
