mike romeo Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Hope they add 'teasers' to 2019 kits b4 the formal announcement. I loved those in previous years. I know how excited I'll be if there's something that looks like a Mosquito . . . . . . or a Hornet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plasto Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Il’l be excited if this thread doesn’t turn into an Airfix Wishlist like the other 29 Airfix Wishlist threads that seem to be perpetually running... Kudos to Airfix marketing team for really understanding how to engage with its customer base and driving discussion and brand awareness.. Fingers crossed I win the 1/24 Typhoon... 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Neither do I but even after forwarding costs, I reckon I could turn it into some modelling tokens, plus I'd love just to fondle one. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot to add "iconic", "no line up would be complete without" and, "why do this when modellers are screaming for (insert)". To name but a few popular clichés!

(I understand that’s Banned in England now. Is that correct???) It’s also socially allowed for wing nut wings kits which is evidenced every Saturday in my LHS... There is some talk of Parliment repealing the tort with the forthcoming release of the 1/32 Lancaster... I think the hope here is that this may spur SPJ to green light the WNW Spitfire mk1 which would give the economy a major boost... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
