  1. There is a Heller advert in February's Airfix Modelworld saying it is a new kit with 5 sets of markings. Has Revell returned their old mold? It says 128 parts.
  2. They are quickbuild (Lego) style but the video shows the tracks moving so I for one am intrigued.
  3. Loking at the video these have 154 parts, moving tracks and opening hatches. Possible candidates for motorization?
  4. https://uk.airfix.com/products/quickbuild-tiger-i-j6041 https://uk.airfix.com/products/quickbuild-sherman-firefly-j6042 A strange thing to find buried away. They have hidden a lot of of these releases. Airfix appear to be really going for these Quickbuilds and in this case scaling up last years releases. Will they be doing the Hawk and Lightning II as well?
  5. https://uk.airfix.com/products/starter-set-eurofighter-typhoon-fgr4-a55016 Another starter kit. No sign of the inner inner pylons.
  6. https://uk.airfix.com/products/starter-set-rnli-shannon-class-lifeboat-a55015 A starter set. Some of the price will go to the RNLI. Hopefully will see this kit on sale in the RNLI stations that are open to the public...along with the re-issued Severn Class lifeboat.
  7. I initially missed that this was 1/48. Not an era I have done much in but the 1/72 Model decal sheet of pre war fRAF fighters had some gorgeous colours, particularly the roundel blue that I fancy a few of these. Hopefully there will br more like this.
  8. I do wonder what Airfix base their choices on. It did look like the new Spitfire IXc was well received. A new Me109 or P-51 to the same standard would possibly have similar reaction. Or re-release the Mosquito with the BIV as an option? The 1/48th Sea King,, Buccaneer and Gannet looked good as well so another 1/48 foldy like the F-4K could have all the options of their 1/72 version but without all the many extra parts. Or just re-release the Sea Vixen. If they did the Angel Interceptor in 1/72 or even 1/48th I would enjoy a simple all white scheme. Or just re-release the TSR-2. Some Thunderbirds or other TV classics like DSV Liberator, Stingray or Fireball XL5. Or just re-release Wallace and Gromit in time for their new film.
  9. a) New Tool : 1/48 Harrier GR 5/7/9 b) Up/Down Scale: 1/72 Vampire FB3/5 c) Vintage Classic: HMS Leander d) Surprise Release: 1/72 P-47 And how about e) Reissue with new decals/parts 1/48 Hunter T7/8/12 ... and some different models in Lidl/Aldi next xmas please!
  10. Announcing a kit when it is ready is a nice change. We get a surge of interest and data and then the first builds in short order. All very exciting. There are some nice references in the promotion video as well. I can see a 1/48 Ark Royal IV (partial?) flight deck in my future.
  11. I suggest you remark to every delivery driver who calls on you that it's not your car and get a lot of bird seed with extra bran.
  12. I struggled with the 1/72 Meteor as well and I am of a similar age to you Trenton. The modern kits lack something, possibly scope for adding some improvements. Not a fan of the F-35 myself but I will try this one.
  13. Update on the airfix workbench. https://uk.airfix.com/community/blog-and-news/workbench/new-f-35b-lightning-ii-ready-airfix-service
  14. And did they mention the War? The Germans did do a Monty python series in German with the UK cast. American comedy series have to have successful and likeable characters which is not the stuff of British comedy.
