593jones Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 The latest Airfix Workbench states that Airfix have 'some mouth-watering new tooling information to tell you about in the very near future, we are not quite in a position to begin making announcements just yet.' Hmm, let the speculation commence! For my money, it's a new 1/48 Hampden (I can dream). What can anyone else predict? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I would like to see a 1/48th Sea Fury. But I also like your idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davecov Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Normally, they only refer to "mouth-watering" if it concerns an aircraft, especially if it is Spitfire shaped! However, perhaps at last they are finally tooling up a 1/350 HMS Queen Elizabeth class carrier. Dave 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 as per meatbox8, thats where my (metaphorical) tenner is going, though I was close but wrong on the victor so expect it to be a 1/72 javelin..... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hacker Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 You know other then a scimitar in 1/72 l like what they been doing in all scales. l just want them to keep up the good work. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I'm with davecov. Especially if it's a 48th Spitfire XIV or a Vc 350th HMS Queen Elizabeth would be awesome although I don't know of a LIDAR rig big enough, though surely computer files are available somewhere.... I still think a 48th WWI British rhomboid would be a good seller especially at Bovvie where they'd replace the 72/76 kits as casual purchases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudge Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 If it isn't a 1/72 Buccaneer or Scimitar I am going to scream. If it's another kit of something I already have ie Stuka/Spitfire/Hurricane I will throw something heavy and smash it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 As mouth watering is part of the digestive process I presume they are moving into food production. Or perhaps they are producing 1/16 scale City investment bankers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'I knew it ' -- 'I said it would be ' Nah. No matter how unusual unlikely or exotic it will be, there will have been someone somewhere on the internet who has said "I really cannot understand why Airfix haven't done this one." But in another scale, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff_B Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Hmnn reading the actual paragraph it just says new tooling information, it might just be test shots and tools of the 2016 range, such as the B-17 or even the Victor rather than the first snippet of 2017 toolings !

heloman1 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Mouthwatering, as per T7's sufggestion. Then it must be a 76th scale NAFFI van to go with the airfield set. However a 48th scale Whilwind HAS7/HAR9/10 would be very acceptable as would a Scimitar and a good Hunter and....................................

There are too many as it is. As it happens, when I was asked to build a 1/350 HMS Queen Elizabeth model for the real ship's naming ceremony, the shipbuilders offered me CAD files to do the job. I asked for PDFs as I didn't have the ability to use the CAD files but Airfix wouldn't have that particular problem. So, there is no excuse for Airfix NOT to produce it.

HansReggelsen Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 At last! The 1/350 HMS Fearless - it MUST be!! (I know - I know - I'm fooling myself here - but - hey! - I can dream, can't I Speaking of dreaming: a sunny lonely island in the pacific - Halle Berry, Selma Hayek, Scarlett Johansson.... Did I say that out loud!) Cheers Hans J 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
