Geoff_B Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Well, DaveCov's 1/350 QE model will be part of the display on the Airfix stand, wonder how many people will think it's a new kit..... Well thats a good way to stir up interest, although i do hope they do it in both 350 and 700 for a more managable size and price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Just bought my Airfix Mag to cheermy up for not going to SMW and for the free Calender which has a Defiant on the cover. They might be re-issusing the old 72nd one, but who knows.... Me I would like a new 72nd one with the right nose shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 What about a live televised cross-feed for all those who won't be in a position to be there. Just a thought - although quite a rather expensive one!! Cheers.. Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul A H Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 I manage a webcasting service on behalf of my employer and it's pretty cheap these days. I could have done it for them in exchange for a handful of new Shackleton kits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
