I imagine literally hundreds of other possible markings!! Presumably the same reason that Revell did training unit markings on both their original 1/72 F6 and FGA9 boxings. They looked for colourful markings. Personally, I’d have gone for Black Arrows or Blue Diamonds over either of the RAF schemes in the kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that Airfix may be thinking about an aerobatic team boxing at a later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.t Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 I like the "retro" Swedish J.34 Acro Hunters scheme and Jon Whaley's Meteor, both based on the Mk.58 etc airframes. So much really good stuff to do if a T.7 emerges. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything in the calendar that we ‘may’ have not have seen before or is it just nice boxart of mainly 2018 releases? I won’t see my copy for the best part of two months! Cheers..

You're welcome to this one if you want it? I can always get another one at Telford next week. Just PM your address.

Truro Model Builder Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 There is some artwork of an A-4 from the USS Intrepid. Reissue of the A-4B tooling, I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
