Been watching this slowly develop into a stunning masterpiece.
Absolutely love this plane and your work is real inspiration, using your own skills and old school techniques.
Look forward to your future builds.
Cheers Rich

Another one from ICM that will definitely make it's way into my stash.
If ICM want other ideas for their superb 1/32 biplane models then as well as the previously mentioned He-51 then a Fiat CR.32 would be nice.
🇺🇦
How about a 1/32 Hawker Hart and family,
they would certainly get my vote-

Truly sorry to hear the passing of Tony
he was the creator and genius behind rock group Magnum.
They have been one of my favourite bands since I got into music at 16 and have produced some fantastic albums
if you haven’t listened to them check out ‘On A storyteller’s night’ and in particular the song Les Morts Dansant. It tells the story of soldier being executed in the First World War by his own side. Listen here

I wonder if the 1600 release time will prevent the annual website crash?. Let's hope so.
Divide and conquer, experience tells them to use as many social media apps to divert some of the traffic
I do recall that this site crashed as well last year (albeit temporary)

Just looked at the Corgi releases and there is a new B26 Marauder in 1/72 and a 1/48 Tornado
Not that there is a direct link, but definitely a maybe as future releases

There has been a pattern of them releasing 1/48 kits which had previously been done by Classic Airframes- Blenheim, Anson, Vampire, Meteor, Defiant, Gannet, Walrus - thats a pretty long list! I also suspect they wouldnt have known that Trumpeter were going to announce one and in any event might have stolen the march on them.
Thats a good point
They did the Canberras as well (pre Hornby)
The Attacker might be on the cards, agree on the Battle, but how about a Venom or even better a Sea Venom, I would imagine that would sell well.

Airfix Workbench Rotadyne
The above link doesn’t mention reworking the canopy/clear parts
I believe Airfix only do this when the original mould has got lost and they reverse engineer it.

Don’t know if they are relevant but Airfix has recently posted videos or images of the following on Facebook (probably not, but thought I would raise it)
( the scales are my guess if the items are relevant)
Hurricane (1/24)
Vought Corsair (1/48)
P-38 Lightning (1/72)
F/A18 Hornet (1/72)
only 1 sleep to all is revealed

From this week’s workbench:
New Year means new Airfix kit announcements
One of the few benefits of us all going back to work at the start of any new year is that we do so in the sure and certain knowledge that we are about to be transfixed by a spectacular new collection of Airfix model kits, with the launch of the latest Airfix range. Featuring a collection of new tooling projects, new scheme options and artwork for some range favourites and the return of some kit classics, range launch day usually sees the Airfix website struggling to cope with all the additional traffic, as thousands of people rush to take a first look at what kits might be tempting them over the coming months and if our designers have been hard at work producing a newly tooled example of their own favourite modelling subject.
Range launch this year will be taking place at 4pm on Tuesday 9th January, so things will hopefully have settled down by the time you get home from work, allowing you to spend a few uninterrupted minutes inspecting all the new kits we have in store for you throughout 2024. We will, of course, be posting a range overview edition of Workbench next week, where we will be taking a closer look at some of the significant additions to the range, before moving on to feature all the new tooling additions to the 2024 range in more detail over the next few months. By the time we have covered everything, we'll be ready for range launch 2025 - how time flies when you're an Airfix modeller!
No giveaways there, only plural new tools, so we should get at least 2

My question is therefore if Airfix have ever had the same kit but with different box art for different countries / regions?
I am no expert, but Airfix have released 2 additional boxings of the 1/48 Sea Fury both with foreign users as the box art. I think they released a RAAF boxing of the meteor F8 as well
Airfix were at the Avon IPMS annual show to showcase the Seaking and some other releases. Talking to them, I was told Airfix usually release at least 2 boxings of each kit, so I would expect a 2nd Gannet release (to include foreign options Australian & German at some point) I am not referring to new versions I.e trainer or AEW
I do wonder how successful Airfix find putting a foreign user on the box art opposed to a British option? Don’t think it hurt the first release of the Naval Lynx which I believe had a German version as the box art.
I am sure Airfix know what they are doing and have a much better idea of how to sell their kits than I do.

In the latest issue of the Norwegian magazine «Flyhistorie», it was mentioned that the Airfix team visited the Norwegian Armed Forces Aircraft Collection at Gardermoen again last September, to scan yet another of their aircraft. They indicated a release of the kit in late 2024 or 2025, with the actual museum aircraft as one of the schemes.
Naturally, they wouldn’t say which aircraft, but given that they have already done the He 111, the F-86F and the Vampire, there should be a limited number of likely candidates.
My guesses? Either the F-86K, the F-5A, the Ju 52, or possibly even the Ju 88A-1.
How about the Chickasaw? It’s the US version of the Westland Whirlwind, would sit nicely with the Sea King in 1/48
Few other possible options there too

Airfix have been very quiet about when the new releases will be announced and we've yet to even have a hint!
Presumably the new releases will be announced in the first or second week of January (perhaps with a surprise announcement later on in the year)?
I expect they will let us know in this week’s workbench blog as it will probably be the last of the year
