Enzo Matrix Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 For 2019, I'm thinking that we'll get a repop of the Wellington probably with Coastal Command colour schemes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if their molds would allow to produce Mk.XIII or Mk.XIV versions which I think were definitive for the Coastal Command. Another prediction is a re-release of later bomber versions - Mk.III or Mk.X. Good thing is that with only one truly new tool in 1/72 in 2018 - which is Wellington - it's highly likely that 2019 will surpass 2018 P.S. another question - does Airfix Sea King kit allows for easy release as SH-3 with let's say 1 extra sprue? Or full new fuselage needed? Edited January 9, 2018 by Dennis_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Trumpeter got the Mk.Ic, Mk.III, Mk.X, and GR.XIV versions out of the same basic mould and so did MPM/Special Hobby (along with the Merlin powered Mk.II and PW powered Mk.IV) so it is possible. The Wellington, 1/48 Blenheim, and Hunter are the new tools for 2018 along with the Phantom (just), B-25, and Sea Fury held over from 2017. If you think about it that way, 2018 actually looks like being a better year for new tools than 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 In 1:48 Spitfire Mk XIV (almost confirmed) Phantom Vampire Blenheim IV I would wish for a Seaking, Scimitar, Dh 88 Comet and a Hampden too but think the four above are way more likely. In 1:72 Vulcan In 1:144 Space Shuttle new tool (never... sadly...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Gollin Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 . There can only be one choice for 2019 :- A 1/48th Black Arrow rocket. 50 years before 2019, in 1969, the first sub-orbital launch of Black Arrow took place. In 1971, a Black Arrow rocket launched a British made satellite, Prospero, into orbit. See ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Arrow . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeronut Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 2019 is the the centenary of the first flight across the Atlantic. So it has to be a Vickers Vimy in 1:48 It'll also be the 80th anniversary of the start of WW2 and as most British and German subjects are already covered could we see new versions of the Ju 52, Ju 88, Battle, Lysander or possibly something French? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_ Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 1/48 Spitfire Mk.XIV (duh!) 1/48 Hawker Hunter F.9 1/48 Blenheim Mk.IV (Hopefully the Free french version!) 1/48 Sea Fury - decal version for Iraq, Egypt, Pakistan 1/72 DH Mosquito Mk.II/VI/XVIII 1/72 B-17F - Memphis Belle / Coastal Command. My guess is that this was the "larger than a He-111" aircraft Airfix were rumoured to be measuring up at the Museum of Flight 1/72 B-25J / Mitchell III 1/72 Wellington - Coastal command 1/72 AC-47D Spooky - yes!.

Obs the Spitfire XIV.......but what sub type? High back? Low back? An FR? In RAF and Belgian markings. In 1/72, the Battle and Hampden must be due. In 1/48 and continuing with the trainer theme, a JP5 (lots of schemes/customers if you include the Strikemaster) or a Piston Provost, again lots of attractive schemes. Also a Boulton Paul P.108 maybe? Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
