Seen this yesterday, MJR are doing it for £26 posted which is the cheapest I've seen it available for pre-order.

Glad to see the boats reissued, prices were plain ridiculous so there will be howls coming from the resellers as their blue chip retirement stock is back to being worth standard amounts. Puma is good to see but there's a huge amount of work if you want to make anything resembling those in service now/recently. Not a bad effort from Airfix truth be told, there's plenty of the Car modelling fraternity that'll be able to stop sweating that their Victor/Maxi is still worth over £150 😂😂

A repop of the Scimitar would sell like hot cakes! -
Takom FV432 converted to a FV436 Command Post
Acky190 replied to Dads203's topic in Work in Progress - Armour
Hi mate, good luck with your Takom kit they can be had for around £40-£45 now. I'd definitely go with the Humbrol 65 for the pack, it's definitely the darker of the two and certainly closer to what I remember from my 439 at 3 DSR.- 228 replies

Speaking to an Airfix bloke earlier in the year I'm expecting the Scimitar to be the big announcement. Absolutely no idea on scale but I'd imagine it's going to be 1/72nd. Not too sure where this fixation with 1/24th is coming from?

1/48th - Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A by Airfix - T2 version on approach
Acky190 replied to At Sea's topic in The Rumourmonger
I'd gamble it was 1/72nd as there is already the Kittyhawk kits in 1/48th but the best in the smaller scale is the Hasegawa kit which is old! -
Grumman Duck and Widgeon would be a good addition I reckon.

Will Airfix have mid-year surprise releases?
Acky190 replied to AntPhillips's topic in The Rumourmonger
There's usually something that pops up from the vintage classics line, hopefully another one of the cars that people are asking ridiculous amounts of money or one of the 1/72nd scale boats that are in the same bracket, maybe even something more recent like the TSR.2? -

Probably around £2000-£3000 if the Xtrakit going rate is anything to go by! 😂😂😂😂- 32 replies

If you can find one below the £80-£90 people seem to think they are worth?- 32 replies

Sounds brilliant and nowhere near the £90+ the Xtrakit is fetching second hand.- 32 replies

This will sell like hot cakes and put an end to the absolutely ridiculous prices scalpers have been charging for the Xtrakit models.- 32 replies
