old thumper Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Perhaps some other versions of the Dornier 17 will be released. I would still like to see Airfix release a kit of the Do17P even though I recently made one by crossing the old Airfix and Monogram kits together, the long nosed Yugoslav version would also be interesting although perhaps not a great seller.

Mr T Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 Shame about the advent calender, but I suspect Airfix feel it may have run its course as a sales tool as a teaser. I am not sure when the Airfix annoucements are due, butl Hornby train annoucements are due on 17th Dec after an annoucement of three or so items at the Warley Model railway show a couple of weeks back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted December 4, 2014 Author Share Posted December 4, 2014 I think Airfix are just teasing us with this advent calendar, I hope that when we get to the 24th there'll be a great big list of new shiny things for us to ooh and aah at, especially when they announce their new 1/72nd scale Beaufighter. In the meantime there'll be much wailing and gnashing of teeth! Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old thumper Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 You mean this one ? http://rsmodels.cz/en/modely-letadel/plastikove-modely/1-72/92031/dornier-do-17-k Fortunately today we modellers can count on the Eastern European manufacturers for the more exotic subjects Yes this is the Dornier I was speaking of. I don't like these eastern European manufacturers very much though, I have had a number of bad experiences with them and for their money they are very expensive.

Hi Keith, If I try to open the Airfix homepage on my PC, I'm getting the silver rotating wagon wheel where the link to the Advent Calendar should be, but if type in the URL for the advent calendar itself it loads OK (http://www.airfix.com/calendar-2014).
