Thanks for the review Julien. One kit on my list to get. Where did you buy it? Or was it sent through as a sample?

My first must have for 2020. Not a Kitty Hawk fan but one of my favourite non British aircraft.

I'm confused here. Didn't these toolings get sold to kinetic as they couldn't complete the project

That is an extremely poor line up from Revell. I mean it is good to see the Tornado GR4 being re-issued and I heard from a rep that they were planning to bring the GR4 back, just didn't say it was in a new box with alternative decals. I just thought it was going to be a restock. I'm waiting to see what other brands have coming out, but seen nothing stunning announced by any brand yet bar the Airfix Vulcan

When you can grab the insanely detailed hobby boss kit for less that £30 I don't see the appeal, but to others there might be

Nice, I've got this in the stash myself. Though i'm going for a eggplant grey version

First of all. A happy new year to everyone on britmodeller, I hope you all have a fantastic year. But with a new year comes a fresh start, What projects do you all have planned for the new year?

I hope everyone had a good Xmas. I'm sharing one of my builds from 2019 with you all. This is the Eduard Hawker Tempest MK.V Series 2 kit in 1/48 Scale. Kit was painted using Tamiya acrylics and featured in an issue of SAMI magazine, photography is not one of my strengths and still learning

What issue of SAMI is that in first picture?

The zvezda kit is a foot long in 1/72 scale. so that will be massive. The vehicle is 22.7 metres long and in 1/35 scale would put at approx 64cm in my rough calculation

The long discontinued Revell Arado 196 A-3 Twin float version might possible be reissued soon. Eduard are re-issuing the etched for the kit in their February releases, They surely wouldn't re-issue all the etched for a hard to source discontinued kit if there was not a re-issue planned

I found these on social media from someones Telford purchase

This is very similar situation for the Avro York and Argosy that it tales a long time for an sprues, reviews or kit part photos to surface. Ultimately this is what would make or break my purchase

There must have been a few of these kits sold but where on earth can we find pictures or reviews for the kit. Searched online and found nothing. It's like the kit has a none disclosure agreement with online photos

Any chance we can see some photos of the kit, want to see the part break down and quality of the parts

The Vulcan is obviously the 2020 flagship release for Airfix, but there couple be a couple more new tools too

Beat me too it and I said on the airfix 2020 post I felt it had to be a Vulcan

The Black Mike Phantom is from the 2019 range and has been know for some time

I've just got mine today. Does every one else has a weird marble effect in the plastic on the elevators?

really nice build I wouldn't call it modern though, the Scooter is older than me

I would love a P-8 and it would fill a big void in modern military surveillance aircraft. But would aircraft be able to get anywhere near one to scan it?

We now know it is a BIG announcement which tell me we are going to have a large aircraft. Be it either in 1/24 1/48 or 1/72. so we are either looking at a small scale large aircraft or a large scale small aircraft Airfix have for the past 6-7 years released what I would call a flagship release for the year. 2019 we had the Hellcat 2018 The Hunter/Blenhiem couldn't confirm the flagship issue for that year 2017 The Phantom 2016 The Victor 2015 The Shackleton 2014 The Typhoon 2013 The Javelin 2012 The Valiant 2020 is going to see another flagship release to bring some huge income to Airfix/Hornby so you really have to think now, what kit will bring in a huge income in a short period of time with impulse purchases off the scale of a standard release, I think there is no coincidence they have pulled the old scale Avro Vulcan off the shelves now and I think 2020 will be the year of the Vulcan. It will be a big bucks £50-60 kit

I've seen the recent re boxing my italeri with a few decal options. looks good, but it is basic by today's standard

When the announcement comes you'll say I was correct 1/24 Lysander

they are not of the hellcat or typhoon standard
