SleeperService Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 On 5/11/2018 at 11:28 PM, Ed Russell said: The Swedes I have met seemed blessed with a good, if sometimes dark, sense of humour (even for pathologists) and excellent English - a credit to their school system. Don't know about the pathologists but I'll agree on the Swedes I've met too. If you want dark watch the original series The Bridge. If you suffer with depression a couple of hours of Swedish detective viewing will lift your spirits. Getting back on course it seems that Airfix and their logistics partner are starting to get the hang of release dates. Just need to give quality control a nudge to avoid another Sea Fury repeat and that should give them a solid base to build a future on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomppa B Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I wish and hope that Airfix would make a new tool B-24 in 1/72. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thud4444 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I'd love a B-24. Or a B-26. I know it's unlikely but I'd love a Hampton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Idea for Airfix; With the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Britain movie next year... 1: The "Don't just stand there, get one up" gift set. 1/72 Diorama set with a couple of Spitfire Mk IXs, Robert Shaw figure and North Weald diorama base 2: The "Good afternoon my ar*e" Dogfight Double set. Hurricane in Polish markings, 109 in movie markings, angry farmer figure with pitchfork. 3: The 1/72 "Have you got that posting yet" gift set. Colin and Maggie Harvey figures, MG sports car and Trackside Country Inn re-issued as the Jack Daw Inn. 4: The "God's Teeth, Take cover" HO/OO Waaf figures set with Group Captain Baker and exploding Belfast Truss hanger. 5: HO/OO "Nasty little shack, full of dead flies" Flying club gift set with HO/OO Nasty little shack, Sqdn Ldr Canfield figure, MG and golf clubs. 6: 1/6 scale Section Officer Harvey with optional frilly knickers. Idea for Hornby: HO/OO Goring Battle of Britain movie train set. Comes with Field marshall Goring figure, armoured train and Calais Mountain range in background. I'm sure there's loads more..... 5 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 1/24 Tiger Moth is a cool idea. I'm up for a couple, along with the 1/24 Spitfire XIVe and N.A. T6/Harvard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Of course, if you like 1/32 scale, the Silver Wings resin inter war RAF stuff is gorgeous. As good as any injection moulded kit I've had and a great choice of subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
