Paul J Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just seen this this morning too!! It should please a lot here after much chat about the possibility....except for those who won't be satisfied because its not the version they want!! Whatever the version,I'm quite happy. Will wait to see if there is anything else that hasn't been announced yet after the Telford show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NPL Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Something tells me that they may also soon have a fresh batch of their Valiant as well. I might be tempted to leave the Spitfires for a while -- especially because it appears that 2016 is a non-Spitfire year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 when the news broke a few days ago I expressed a rather negative view towards a victor b1 over vulcan b2, now its a official I am still gutted and a rather hacked off about the lack of a vulcan, but am over the moon with the announcement of the victor b2, though my wallet has now announced a preemptive divorce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Blimey ! The avalanche of new stuff for next year continues and all hail Airfix being on the frontfoot ! You know 'some' people will argue it doesnt look right from some angle on their computer screen and do their very best to prove they know more than most modellers by bringing it down without seeing it in the flesh as it were (like they did with the recent Kinetic Sea Harrier FRS 1 derision that polluted the model press ) one can't help but feel sorry for them, well maybe not but its best to ignore them Me....i cant help believe this is a new golden age of plastic modelling , i am 63 and have been modellling since i was 8yo and cannot remember things being this good ! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Victor B.2 is welcome, I know the Bomber Command guys will be over the moon! Any chance we can change the title to Airfix Victor B.2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The Airfix 2016 Yearbook seems to suggest that the two decal schemes have already been chosen. XL512, 139 Squadron (I would assume in Anti-Flash White) XL159?, Wittering Wing (must be Camo) http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/airfix-yearbook-2016.html Cheers... Dave.
