Albeback52 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 You do realise of course that this will inevitably be followed by the announcement that Airfix are to release a Lightning F1/F1A/F2/F3 !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Thanks Guys keep the orders coming......................Well I have been told by people very much in the know Airfix wil not be doing the early versions hence my set. BUT I am sure glad the news on the 2 seaters by Sword was made, as after my big HOUSE / WORK move that was going to slip onto the work bench. I will be back with more sets soon, well after the MOVE Ali 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali Fingers crossed that you don't have to slip that project back on the bench then Ali, as that will mean the Sword ones are good 'uns...!! If I order a Lightning set now, together with some other bits, could you hold sending them all off until the Lightning set is in stock? Thanks Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali62 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Hi Keith We'll I do hope the Sword kits are good, as it was also concerning me as to where the costs would run to on the conversion, not much would be left of the Airfix kit. Place an order,a a that way I can get everything together for one delivery to you. Cheers Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be back with more sets soon, well after the MOVE Ali The set looks great Ali & very reasonably priced.Given that Airfix have previously produced an F1 & F3, I'd still put money on Airfix doing the early versions at some point - especially as the F2A has been so succesful. I'm looking forward to the F6 of course!!. Meantime, I wish you success with your conversion set. Looks like you have a winner there.

Procopius Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 It was a great day when the 1/72 Tamiya F-16 was announced, no less than 48 hours after I'd sold my Revell F-16C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they'd only release a 1/72 Sea Vixen, I'd pay someone to take my other Xtrakit thing off me....!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 woohoooooooo! But it means that the old Airfix Lightnings that I've just bought as donor kits are now redundant. Ah well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisrope Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Well I am going to resist and persevere with my Trumpetblower. Got it in a trade so minimal cost there plus the rear end set, intake ring and some Aeroclub undercarriage, all for under a tenner. I'll also have fun doing it too Over £25 for an F.1 from the Airfix F.2a, I can wait and see if someone does an OOB kit at those prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
