I've long said that the detail on the 1/24th Typhoon was crying out for a set of groundcrew. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work In Progress Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I would be a lot more likely to play that game if you could keep your purchases in a basket for a single delivery at the end of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony I mentioned this at Telford, and their guy looked surprised, until I told him there were only the Acadermy and Lindburgh offerings, both of which are innaccurate. I think they might look at that now. Mentioned the Scimitar, which drew a laugh - I don't think I was alone on that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I was in Hannants last week. Airfix is the only manufacturer that has a full length set of racking to themselves. By shelf volume it is still the biggest game in town. Having said that, the amount of new manufacturers is staggering, and the product range from some of them is eye watering as well. With so much stuff coming from everywhere East of the Iron Curtain, Airfix are up against it. I overheard a conversation from one dealer at Telford who thinks Airfix will do well to keep going after 2017. Given his reasoning, he may well be right.

Black Knight Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 A mannequin wearing WW1/interwar style flying kit, sitting in a cockpit reading an Airfix Club news magazine I think its something from the Shuttleworth collection. For nearly all their exhibits RAF Cosford & Hendon, IWM Duxford & Lambeth and Brooklands don't have mannequins in aircraft cockpits FAAM have a pair in a Swordfish, but Airfix have done a new kit of a Stringbag just a few years ago I'm thinking RAF RE8 in 1/72 or 1/48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Well I'm having no luck viewing anything besides a 404 error message! Are these supposed to be hints about more new 2017 kit releases? Cheers.. Dave (holidaying in the US). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Are you clicking the window for the 2nd or 3rd of December? The 2nd was a competition for a Shackelton. The first window says this, then it takes you to the competition page, which now shows a 404 as the competition closed at 11.59 GMT on the 2nd. The window for the 3rd just shows a mannequin reading a magazine and a statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard in NZ Well I see a second 'pilot' next to the chap with the magazine. The magazine covers part of the glazing. It looks very similar to the cockpit framing of an Avro Anson. That is my pick! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMA131Marine Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I'm pretty sure it's a B-25. That rod you can see looks like the one in this picture that is part of the escape hatch release mechanism 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafalbert Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Agreed, it looks like the B25 preseved in the Netherlands. http://intscalemodeller.com/viewtopic.php?t=2558 I am sure there are better pics though. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
