eng Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 Apologies if there is a thread running on this somewhere else but does anyone know approximately when Airfix propose to release their 1/48 Gnat? I bought the 50th Anniversary book/magazine that's out in WH Smiths this morning and there's a full page ad on the back that states coming soon. How soon?

Rob P Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Pencilled in for October by Hannants. There have been a few date slippages from what they state, but not by much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Really looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Think they might be holding it back for the 50th Anniversary of the Red Arrows - being celebrated at RIAT on 11th July! If they released it at that airshow think of how many they would sell on that weekend! Cheers, Brian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 October is still the expected date, according to Airfix. That could always change of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMB Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 (edited) I was at RIAT last weekend talking to Airfix in their marquee where they had the sprues for this kit, which does look very nice indeed. They obviously have missed the boat with the Red Arrows 50th Display Seasons celebrations, as they said the transparencies, instruction sheet, decals and box art still hadn't been completed. October is still the official release date. I hope there are several Red Arrows schemes on the decals and not just the final 'Royal Air Force' lerttere scheme that the 1/72nd version has?

Brian G Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 If you are interested in planning schemes for the new Folland Gnat, here is a trial scheme we flew on the Arrows which was not accepted. file:///Users/Goodchap/Documents/Arrows%20Trial%20Scheme.jpg Cheers, Brian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Maas Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Brian's link won't work as he's linked to a file on his local hard drive. One needs to upload it somewhere (Flickr, Photobucket, etc) then link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
