They can do that. It doesnt change my opinion of it though.

They made it. Turned out to be one of the best F-14 kits on the market.

It will be a shame to lose it, they were the printers for Wolfpak decals.

A lot of people still like the old ways as it allowed you to rinse more of a profit out of the sale. Ive been using ebay for nearly 30 years and never really had any problems with it. Ive had some, like I bought an item that the seller told me he wasnt sending as I sent a postal order. And back then there was no settlement on the site so that was that. Things get delivered to the wrong address, and other such problems but nothing fundamental to using the site. Its got better over the years and as a buyer the seller is less able to rip you off. The buyer is also less able to rip off sellers as things must be returned to get a refund if they cant prove it wasnt delivered. What I have noticed is most buyers who moan about things made a mistake somewhere along the listing line and it costs they money. They didnt get as much as they hoped they would. They end up paying shipping costs... Ive used Vinted a couple of times, its like ebay was so there are more chances of being ripped off by sellers.

Things changed during COVID but they would have settled down in the years afterwards had it not been for the severe rise in energy costs a couple of years ago. That is what is crippling us now not the effects of COVID. Where I live in the south fish n chips is over £10 but usually below £15 depending if you just have fish n chips and the size of the portion of chips.

I thought the second tail was for the French version.

Among modellers yes. Kit assemblers not so much, because they need to much but yeah theyre pretty popular.

With Italeri who knows? Their catalogue seems to be a wish list of things they want to be doing this year. I just hope it gets released. Its starting to be an expensive kit now. Im sick of seeing models listed on sites like ebay for stupid money, people treat them like some kind of little nest egg.

With the trucks you never can tell what is going on. Its not on the official import list on the hobby company site but that doesnt mean it wont make it when/if its released. Its happened before. Not only with Italeri. They might get round to giving it a production run or they might not Its always a popular trailer to have in the stash as it was seen all over Europe.

The full catalogue is out now https://www.italeri.com/en/?p=1 Not much in there that interests me apart from the KC-135R and the Volvo FH low roof. But will be picking up both for sure. The BP tanker trailer will be nice, that was starting to get silly on price.

Need an RBS not an RBT.

Im looking at the parts break down on the sprue with the forward fuselage and seeing the possibility to make the two seat version.

I do hope somebody does a nice etch set with some rail over lays. Those Sidewinder rails could be hollowed out and detailed up lovely.

Going by those renders and my experience of recent Airfix kits I would say Airfix is fast becoming a top tier manufacturer. I have a few of the Italeri Wessex kits in the pile and Im looking forward to replacing some of them with these.

Is there a 2025 catalogue from them yet?

🙂

Wing and tail fold option I hope

Didnt the Japanese have a version of the Jaguar built by Mitsubishi. They changed it about a bit like they did with the F-16 but its built on the idea of the Jaguar. Maybe they could make one of those too when they tool up the BritCat.

Well as it is now the last few weeks of '24 are we going to put this one to bed and say the only Airfix Jaguar we are going to get this year is an E Type?

I hope it is in 48th scale, and I really hope it comes with decals for aircraft used in the special military operation.

LOL No its not, its a privately owned company. Russian MoD isnt interested in a toy company. Thats not what the MoD is for.

Is there a chance its an update to their recently released Seaking kit? The yellow search and rescue version or maybe the AEW version.

A nice quarter scale Tornado with an accurate wing would be nice. Or a Eurofighter also in quarter scale, one that is actually accurate for the RAF. Jaguar, Harrier or an F-111E/F because they served in the UK most of their service lives. Switching to 72nd scale maybe some of the more unusual transports theyve used over the past 50 years or so.

I wasnt talking about 72nd scale. In fact I didnt mention 72nd scale at all in my post. Why would you assume I was talking about 72nd scale, especially as the Harrier they make is as you say a great kit

Or a Harrier. or Typhoon, or a decent Tornado... Could be anything! A 48th scale Chinook or a Hercules or a Wasp/Scout would be nice too as we are wish listing.
