    My wishlist from Airfix: New Tools: Jaguar GR3 in 1/48 Hudson Mk1 in 1/48 or 1/72 Seafire III in 1/48 or 1/72 Re-releases: Victor K Mk2 as I missed it the first time round. For 2026: Lysander MkII based on their brand new Mk1/III

    Endless scope here for what might be on the way but my guesses would be: Spitfire XIV high back 1/48 RAF Sea King 1/48 Avro Anson 1/72 new tool Jaguar/Phantom/Tornado new tools in 1/48 and/or 1/72 Avro 504K in 1/48 as an outside chance Westland Scout/Wasp new tool in either scale Similarly outside chances of new tooled Spitfire Tr.9 , Lysander, Hudson etc.

    Looks like they haven't back dated the wing for the IAC version to make an Avro XIX.

    The Irish Air Corps operated three Avro XIX which had a wider chord outer wing similar to that found on wartime Avro Ansons and not the tapered metal wing as provided in the current Valom kit. Hopefully the announced future kit with Irish Air Corps markings will have an updated sprue featuring the correct wing for the Avro XIX.

    In 1/48 scale I would like to see: Lockheed Hudson to replace the unobtainable and difficult to build Classic Airframes kit. Westland Lysander MkII with dropped flaps and slats. The Gavia/Eduard is a MK III and the old Italeri kit is inaccurate as a Mk II Gazelle Helicopter with alternative engine cowls to do French or UK variants. Westland Scout/Wasp Spitfire Tr.9 Jaguar GR3 Avro 504K ( loads of colour schemes to choose from)

    Max Decals 7225 will have markings for Irish Air Corps Anson XIX No. 141. It's with the printer and should be available late July or early August. Being an early Anson XIX you will have to modify the kit outer wings to the wider chord type as used on the Anson Mk1. I intend to do this by taking the outer wings from an old Airfix or the more modern Special Hobby Mk 1 kit.

    Given the wide and wonderful collection of aircraft at the Ulster Aviation Society, Airfix could have their choice of subjects ranging from Puma, Wessex, Jaguar, Seahawk etc. The UAS have an incredible collection.

    Just to say that Max 72002 was printed in 1996! The subjects on that sheet have been reprinted much later on Max7221 using a different printer and are altogether less fragile.

    I've pre-ordered mine. Looking forward to getting it and the Maritime version that is planned for later this year. I hope a C235 will follow. Joe

    Any news on this from the Shizuoka Hobby show?
  11. maxdecal
    New Irish Air Corps decals with some of those subjects is currently in the works. I'll keep you posted.

    A couple of photos of the Vickers Vespa can be found at https://www.militaryarchives.ie/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=8&page=3 Apart from the tail unit there is very little similarity between a Vickers Vildebeest and a Vespa. It would be mainly a scratchbuild project using some parts from the Special Hobby Vildebeest. Cheers. Joe

    Hi Colin, 72topia has produced a resin Avro 631 in 1/72 scale. See https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=72topia Cheers Joe

    Cross kitting the wings from a Special Hobby Anson I might give you what you need as regards an Anson XIX. I had started cutting out the vacform fuselage halves of the Aeroclub kit with a view to mating them with a substantial part of the Special Hobby Anson to get an Irish Air Corps Anson XIX. It would have been a lot of work. I'm really glad Valom has decided to release this kit!
