SaintsPhil Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just spotted this in the Airfix newsletter http://www.airfix.com/airfix-products/aircraft/a73008-panavia-tornado-gr4-617-squadron-172-a73008/?utm_campaign=Airfix_Newsletter_169573_16th_May_2013&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=CM_hornby-airfix Presumably it'll be their fairly dire kit in the box, but worth it for the decals and the upgrade parts to make a GR4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rs2man Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Kits World are to release shortly a decal sheet for both the anniversary Tornado & all 19 Lancasters . Freightdog are just releasing a GR4 conversion for the really nice Revell kit . That's probably the best way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Well I'm not an Airfix club member & I found it no worries. I just searched for 617 & it was the third item that came up. Possibly not available yet. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirfixAndy Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Strange....I typed "Tornado" and "617" into the search bar and nothing came up last night !! Those little men winding the Airfix.com wheels and cogs must have fixed something last night Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Would have been nice if Airfix had given us a brand new Tornado to go with the decal sheet...............................!! Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Work In Progress Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Kits World are to release shortly a decal sheet for both the anniversary Tornado & all 19 Lancasters . I'm not sure whether this is still happening or not. Someone on WW2 said recently that it may have been canned due to licensing issues, and I can't find it on their website in the future releases section.

Harrierpilot Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I'm not sure whether this is still happening or not. Someone on WW2 said recently that it may have been canned due to licensing issues, and I can't find it on their website in the future releases section. I hope it's not "canned" has I have a commission from a pilot on 617 for a 1/72nd scale jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadders Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 It's not canned, just not released yet. It's still on the web site anyway http://www.airfix.com/shop/classic-kits/a73008-panavia-tornado-gr4-617-squadron-172/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PZRGREN Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think the reference to being "canned" refers to this from kits-world: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/KW72095 which i have on back order. rs2man, on 16 May 2013 - 3:15 PM, said: Kits World are to release shortly a decal sheet for both the anniversary Tornado & all 19 Lancasters .
