Stuflyer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I made the Hobbycraft one for a client about 8 years ago and used the entire Flightpath set on the thing. This looks nearly as good as most of that work without the gyp. And a right way up aerofoil. I know the surface detail will be better too. I want dropped flaps ( )but no doubt Eduard will oblige ( though I really liked the FP ones - superb and way better than anything I imagine injection stuff could deliver ) Yup, I am looking forward to this one.

C'mon Airfix, enough with the fumble finger scale stuff, you've saved me enough money with these last three announcements, so come on where's my 72nd scale Sea Vixen & Javelin eh?? EH?? I have enough saved to buy, oh, two of each now....!! 1 hour ago, Meatbox8 said: Nooooo. Wrong flippin' scale. I wish the Ms262 was 1/48th and the Sea Fury 1/72nd!

huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 but maybe they're keeping it quiet until Christmas 2017 The Sea Fury though is one aircraft that I will build in a scale other than my usual 1/72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 1 hour ago, TEMPESTMK5 said: What about a new P47D Thunderbolt in 1/72 scale ? I call it an Iconic aircraft .. While a new Airfix 1/72 P-47 would make commercial sense, there absolutely no possibility that it would, to quote Airfix "certainly cause something of a stir" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I suppose I shouldn't complain as it will help my bank balance and keep stash mountain within manageable proportions but so far Airfix haven't announced anything I want for next year. I was on a roll with them with the Swift, Vampire, Gnat, Shackleton, Lightnings and Victor but I was really hoping they'd scale down their Sea Vixen and Javelin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still surprised that the future Me262 release isn't in that scale. I reckon that would be a real seller for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) Hmmm! Walrus, Mustang, Sea Fury! Nothing there at all to float my boat I'm afraid. Still, I'm sure the Fury will be a great seller and, I'm genuinely pleased for those of you who welcome this and the other 1/48 announcements. On the positive side, I will (so far!) be saving money next year as, the only one to interest me out of the four announced to date is the Me 262. Of course, that may change with future announcements!! (as long as it's not another b****y Spitfire!!)

Well Patrice, seeing as they still haven't done the right thing with the Sea Vixen & Javelin, & that it took them 20odd years to do the Lightning properly after they did the lovely 1/48 ones ( and they still haven't done the small tank jets!), I wouldn't hold your breath....!!
