Like Meatbox, when they said a big announcement, I too thought 1/24th.

Ā 

Shame as my eyes won't let me go as small as 1/72. Even 1/48 seems to be pushing it.

Ā 

Look forward to further announcements.

I'm looking forward to it, evenĀ though it wouldn't Ā normally be my thingĀ . Ā I don't know what it is about Airfix these days but everything they bring out I end up buying. Ā They might as well have a standing order straight from my bank account. Ā Very few other manufacturers seem to get a share of my modelling pound...

Ā 

Can't wait for news about the other releases!

Safe bet I suppose, but let's hope the other 2017 releases will fill in some actual gaps in what's available already. More Beaufighter and Kate-like releases!

I was in the RAF museum at Hendon about 3 weeks ago and two chaps appeared to be measuring/examining the wheel bays of the 262 in the Entrance Hall. Ā It makes sense now

I'd have preferred to see the twin-gun Sturmvogel fighter-bomber.....There don't seem to be any 1/72 kits of that version.Ā  :rolleyes:

Hasgawa kit has seperate nose panels for A1 and A2 gun layout.

Been asking for a new 262 from Airfix for several years, I'm a happy bunny! Just last week on their Aerodrome blog they told the story of a ditched Catalina being bounced by two JG7 262's and I asked them if that means a new Dogfight Double kit, looks like it's possible now! Wonder if a new Cat is coming? Don't know if the current mould is knackered yet.

My fave boxart is the old 262/Mosie kit.

Wondering also if they'll do a basic kit and more advanced one with more weapons/drop tanks/ assisted take off rockets etc? The CAD seems to have the underside fittings for the RATO packs.

Late war stuff is not usually my thing, but I'll be in for one of these. It was a historically significant type and the old tooling wasĀ :deadhorse:

I wonder if there will be a new Mosquito to go with it for a new Dogfight Double set?

Ā 

Cheers,
