I still think Airfix missed a trick by going for the 1/48 Merlin & Lynx when they should have done a Seaking Hope to see one soon, don't expect it will be cheaper than the Hasegawa kit, but at least you will get the internal compartment

Airfix have 2 kits artwork out 1/72 JU87B2: https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/new-for-2017/junkers-ju87b-2-r-2-stuka-1-72.html 1/72 Blenheim mkIV https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/new-for-2017/bristol-blenheim-mkiv-bomber-1-72.html This one reminds me of the original kit artwork Both look excellent

Impressive kit https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/news/workbench/air-power-of-the-senior-service/ No box art yet And advance notice for Telford: "As usual, we will also be looking to make an announcement regarding a new tooling addition to the Airfix range. We hope to see many of our readers over the weekend of the show and will be pleased to show you all our latest model announcements." Let the speculation begin.... Hunter?

Testing

Patience.

I thought this was the rumourmonger section, not lets all discuss how to run a model kit company

Lovely build Tony

I think they are Frog moulds which ended up in Russia and have been used by a few companies https://www.scalemates.com/kits/204134-mastercraft-b-98-hms-harvester See the link for the history of this one I think Mister Craft and master Craft are the same companies

We are modelers, collectively we will never all be happy with a kit, it amazes me how many moaners are out there. We have never had it so good, countless manufacturers, great accessories, sites like this to share knowledge, great tools and paints, countless resources and somne wonderful kits to make As I have said before, if Airfix or other manufacturers could shrink the real thing and make it into a kit, there would be someone on here saying they got something wrong. Lets face it modelers are not meant to be 100% satisfied

I see from hattons that Hornby are announcing their 2017 range on 4th Jan, so presume Airfix will be the same day?

thanks Guys, would never have guessed as I didn't know it was ever fitted with a canopy.

Came across this image of Wrens preparing for a photo recognisance flight in a book on the RN, but can't make out the aircraft. Any ideas, thought it might be a Gladiator, but the wheel struts look wrong.

The Advent Calendar is back Todays is 40% off the Swift, but have been known to tease with new kits before

I had an idea, and suggested it to Airfix that they produce a range of 1/24 ground and Air crew figures, plus accessories in the same vain as the 1/48 ground crew figures. I expect I am not the 1st to suggest this, but I am sure it would be welcomed by many of us to enhance the Typhoon or Mossie etc Probably not in their plans, but we can hope
