Biggles81 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Another social media fail for Airfix, not to mention a massive yawn in the actual announcements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_modeller Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 no 1/24 release in 2015 then. Not surprised; I guess its a lot of work to design and produce one every year. Chuffed at the Defiant. The old kit was bloody awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Just opened my toffee Butterkist Note to self: Get new glasses, thought this read, "wanting to get Butt Kissed !" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Did I mention already that I'm disappointed (in the subjects but not in the LIDAR modelling)? Duncan B 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davecov Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Underwhelmed by another Sea King but the Defiant and He-111 are good news. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McYellowbelly Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 What.....not a target tug Defiant? It's rubbish then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Lambess Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 and remember folks its just a "teaser" for the 2015 range ! so we could still get a shack ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skids Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Well I was hoping for the fabric wing Hurricane in 1/48, never mind at the rate I build I can wait another year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Yes feeling a bit let down there. These new tools are welcome, but not the big announcement it was made out to be? Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moaning dolphin Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I would be happy if it's a total new tool Seaking, please don't let it nice new parts on the old tool, that would be a fail. Probably better than the Cyber Hobby kit though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plastic Bonsai Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Hopefully that isn't the entire new range for next year. The use of Lidar is good news - no more wrong shape issues but I think Airfix has been quite good at that - they need to work on their surface detailing next.

iain.. ipms north somerset Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 oh well nice waste of a morning .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpine_modeller Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Still no sign of an Airfix Victor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Errr, do you think anyone in the Airfix marketing department builds kits ? Not withstanding the welcome replacement of these old classics, they are after all re-releases, it reminds me of New Labour, is Alastair Campbell working for Airfix now as a consultant ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntPhillips Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 It's the LIDAR technology that is the breakthrough news and is a significant step up for Airfix, enables them to give unprecedented accuracy to their new kits, I never expected a full list of new releases they only ever give a taster at SMW, the full list of releases is released at Christmas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich2010 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 You can't please all the people all the time. If they did, what would they do in 2016? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WV908 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 A load of rubbish as far as I'm concerned. Why the need for a new HE-111? A Defiant is nice but something like a Shack or VC-10 would have been a headliner worthy of all this hype Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
