(don't know if this has been 'guessed' previously - I'm not going to read through 14 pages of silliness!!) I do hope your right, however with a recent resin Conversion set only released a few years ago, I’d say that a Lincoln (or MR.1 Neptune) are probably not on Airfix’s drawing board. There must be some type of agreement between the mainstream manufacturers and the AM industry to ensure they’re not blown out of the water, so for this reason I’d say a Lincoln is still a long way off.

In fact, the response I made (and to which you replied) was to a comment referring to those very same kits. I believe therefore that my comment about the only OTHER "recent" WWI kit being the 1975 Sopwith Pup was entirely correct.

AlCZ Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I can 1/48 Lancaster or Boeing or Liberator please... simple "quarterscale Viermotirige"... all kits of heavies in this scale are vintage and in 1/32 are expensive and big ( i bought in future an WnW Lancaster standard Bomber only...)but quarter scale is ok... Lincoln atd are too british for Britons only... C-46 "commando" vere be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radpoe Spitfire Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Next year is the 75th anniversary of the Meteor entering service with 616 sqn🤔............. ....mmmmm 24th........Mk1.................🤔 OK - I'm just saying😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Relative size of aircraft was mentioned earlier. Have you ever seen the model of a KC-10 refuelling a B-52?? The difference is almost beyond belief. Concord has 4 engines....Just saying. Wouldn't be stupid size in 1/48th and the expensive HpH (?) kit seems to have sold well enough. Finally IMHO it IS the most beautiful aircraft ever...by a mile. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a 1:24 F.8 in Meteorites markings would look the dog's ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WV908 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 (edited) 1/24 Sunderland? Pretty please? I reckon that a 1/24 Lightning / Meteor / Hunter is a very realistic proposition. For those wanting a new Sunderland / Halifax / Stirling in 1/72 there is one BIG problem. The market is / has been already flooded with the Revell / Italeri kits that the general public currently show so little interest in that they just sit on shelves and get discounted. In other words a new kit of either those three would pretty much only sell to the diehard modeller base as everyone else who bothers to want a discounted one already has one. I’m afraid to say it’s the same case with the Vulcan, especially now 558 has stopped flying. I hope i’m wrong though (but not about the 1/24 jets) Cheers, WV908 Edited October 21, 2018 by WV908 Few small changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanHx Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Either that, or thanks to David Attenborough Airfix have decided to no longer make plastic kits and instead concentrate on sewing kits for cuddly spitfires... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truro Model Builder Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 What about a 1/24 Hawk? A Red Arrows boxing with paints etc would earn the money back before you even had to think about other boxings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
