Must have Kits for 2012?

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

With only a few more weeks left of this year and with all the hype now calmed down with the Airfix Lightning finally being released (4 months later then planned) I was just wondering what the must have kits of 2012 will be as not really heard much on the grape vine in any scale really. Just wondered what your thoughts are and what you have heard.

Tameo Super kit: 1/43rd Ferrari 156 Italian GP 1961 Phil Hill

From the picture I've seen it has the full spaceframe chassis, just hoping the bodywork is removable.

Supposed to be available at the beginning of Jan 2012 a snip at a little over£100

Airfix Lynx for me, if for no other reason than SiL has now got his Army wings and will be learning to fly the things in the New Year.

This brute from Hobby Boss in 1/35.

1,690 parts :blink:

Just seen the "brute" on the front of models for sale webpage for £99 is sounds like quite a lot for you cash.

Really good to see such variety popping up and intresting to see a 32nd Cat coming out too, not my thing as I love my jets but would be intresting to see it just for the engineering side of things.

Well for me the only definites on my 2012 To Buy list are the Wingnuts Wings RE8, FE2b and Rumpler

I'm thinking about a Pacific Coast Models Spitfire MK XIV

Will look at the Academy 1/48 F-4B Phantom and Airfix 1/48 Merlin and 1/350 HNS Daring when they are released.

Apart from these it will be new announcements that I'll be adding the list so here's hoping from something good in early 2012.
