jaw Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I wonder when this kit will be released. First off according to the Airfix website it was June - but that has gone. Then it is July - but that is nearly all gone. And still no sign of it! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Ask @Denford he seems to know what’s going on with all things Airfix. The rest of us just make it up as we go! Cheers.. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mole 'left' there awhile ago, not that he'd have told me anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

593jones Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 I see he's got a 'Make an Offer' option. Maybe I should offer a fiver and see how it goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I wonder how he got hold of a copy? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Wasn't aware that June/July had been mentioned , ordered mine and the 1/48 Hunter when they were first announced and at that point was expecting one around October/November and the other November/December , be nice if either or both arrived early.

Rabbit Leader Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 @jaw, Actually taking a closer look at this I believe the initial expected release date for this kit was around November this year. Back in January I started this thread which was all aimed at having a bit of fun. I should update it again, however besides a month delay with the Wellington, Airfix’s releases have so far gone pretty close to plan. So save your Meteor pennies and go and buy a Welly for the time being! Cheers.. Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 Thanks Dave - I will let another modeller buy the Wellington. Not of interest to me! Cheers, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaw Posted July 27, 2018 Author Share Posted July 27, 2018 In addition to my note about the Meteor FR9, I did contact Airfix via their Facebook page and asked the same question. They have replied to say that there is a delay on the release of the FR9, although they did not specify why. The delay might be several weeks, and the website will be updated when they have more information. I see that the one that was shown on eBay has now disappeared.
