Hi, if an icarus is advertised as 'surf blue' or 'moss' does that mean its a 2011 model? And does anyone know if there is a window or mesh panel over the big front door on either the 500 or 600 this year? Thanks a lot

The Moss is the 2011 colour and it does have a mesh panel for the front door where the 2010 model doesn't. Not seen any blue ones this year though.

I've got the blue one, 2011.  It has a double fly screen on the front door.

OK thanks - so you could leave the front up and just have a mesh door there and not get nibbled by flying beasties?
