Darby Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Another 1/72 Wellington on the market. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HP42 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 That's a very welcome and long overdue release. I'll be buying one for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Apparently you can have your face immortalised in a pilot figure should you win a competition according to an e-mail from them. Mind you there are those who will insist the subject has the correct number of rivets/serial number/radio sticky up bit and hub caps before they could even possibly be considered for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potato Pete Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Early days but the rendering of the geodetic framework looks more muted than the Trumpeter offering Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Alan Bardell Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 YES! Put me down for 2 or 3 of these - now to research some early war camouflage schemes . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybershed Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I fancy this one. Great subject - Barnes Wallis, famous geodetic structure, what's not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Not quite top of my list but nice to see them getting the scale right this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derwentsider Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I've got the Trumpeter one (unbuilt) which is nice, but the open bomb bay and crew access options will sway me to buying this one too. I just hope they've got a Hampden up their sleeves for 2018 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Just an observation, but those beam gun positions are MkIII onwards and the engine fronts are MkIa not Ic. We are in for a family of Wimpys not just the MkIc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in for a family of Wimpys not just the MkIc. If they do a Mk la then I shall be a very happy man! I'll still be buying a Mk lc anyway, always assuming I can afford it by the time it comes out. I do agree with Derwentsider, a Hampden would be very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grahamwalker Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 BORING yet again another aircraft from airfix, Nothing like a change EH, just more of the boring SAME. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevej60 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 A lot of folk's wishes coming true with this offering, makes perfect sense with the Whitley,Lanc,Blenhiem etc,surely the Halifax will follow,that said agree with Graham it would be nice to see a return to the many genre's Airfix used to cover. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Works for me, be even nicer if they make them with a 75sqn(NZ) scheme but I've no doubt something will pop up from an AM supplier in any case. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old thumper Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 For me the Wellington is must for the Airfix range, an iconic British aircraft that will sell all day long. Ding Dong as Leslie Phillips used to say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Wellington is a must have in the Airfix range. Aircraft are the backbone of their output and I do have to say that they really can't match other manufacturers when they tackle anything else. Stick to what you know I say. Leave the cars, bikes and AFVs to the Japanese. Quote Well, they are called AIRfix, after all! Yes but the Air is nothing to do with aircraft. They just wanted to be first in the directory and anyway made inflatables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
