It looks great, I'm waiting for them to arrive at UK shops (hopefully January!), but I've already eyed up a few schemes on spot model...

I was hoping the same, maybe a release later in the year?

An.......tic........i.........pa..........tion!

Maybe it's the announcement of the announcement? Airfix Friday : "Tomorrow we will announce 5 new kits at Telford". Airfix Saturday : "We will be releasing the Fairy Fruitbat in 5 exciting new scales, 1:987, 1:74, 1:45, 1:29 & 1:7."

We truly live in the golden era of modelling. Not for me, but I'm glad that such a thing exists for those who want one!

It's a shame, I prefer 1/24th for cars, and I'd love to see Airfix tool some of those British classics from the 70's and 80's. Anyway, considering that Airfix seems to make a modern supercar and a British classic in 1/43, I'd suggest for next year : 1/43 - Jaguar XJC 1/43 - McLaren Artura F1 seems to be offering toy/model licenses at the moment, so there's an outside chance of something there. Ferrari/Porsche are tightly controlling their licenses, but maybe Maserati/Corvette stuff for 1/43?

After thinking harder, I may have to find something suitably British and 1970's to do the second-hand dodgy 'mota' justice.

Count me in please - It'll be something Le Mans based for sure!

Count me in - I've got a couple of WNW in the stash which need to be built!

They appear on several cars that raced at Le Man over the years, I think it's just a stylistic thing. I vaguely remember reading about it in a Le Mans book, but can't quite remember.

Re : Oreca - I believe that Tamiya previously sponsored an Oreca, which never resulted in a kit, so I think it's likely that this won't be released either. Re: Ferrari licensing - If there are new releases of LM Ferraris then I'd be cockerhoop. The current Hypercar and 296 are both good looking cars

I am watching Le Mans, I did notice the sponsorship, and I hope that they do release an Oreca. There are lots of really nice schemes that the after-market decal guys will go mad for!

Woohoo! That link doesn't work for me, it gives a 404 for some reason (I think the link is correct, but the website isn't letting me open that page directly) although it seems to be the correct link. Just go to top level of the website and search instead...

Typical! It's the wrong scale as usual!

Some 'built' pictures have appeares on Spot model...
