I hope it be true and in the one true scale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Something WW2 Soviet in 1/72? They've covered most of the other major combatants. A replacement for the ancient Yak-9 would be nice. J 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Fairly pointless guessing game, but hey why not as I am recovering from a week with my mother. Wellington II/VIII as we now the engines for the two have been seen on a Cad and there are the holes for the aerials on the fuselage. I would still like a Venom (1/72nd, of course) A British operated Harvard (1/72nd) Two Stage Merlin Mosquito P47 as nothing newly tooled in the 'series 1' line for a while and has been out of the catalogue for a while. Airfix Vintage SRN1 (can hope!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cngaero Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 My prophecy is: 1/72 Scale Disappointment. 1/48 Scale Dispare 1/24 Scale Dejection 1/32 Scale Despondency Because by 14:02 there will be a lot of these a announced. It's called Modelling Democracy; Everyone gets what nobody wants 😅. Not me though, as I'll be clapping my hands with the announcement of the new Airfix 1/72 Handley Page Hastings and Short Belfast kits to be released in Q1 and Q2.

Geoff_B Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 To be honest its quite nice to have to have wait for the Catalogue release again, which is quite funny as they had actively changed to announcing the new kits via the workbench and following their development as an ongoing process and were actively looking to drop the Annual Catalogue but that has all changed back now. As to what to expect I think we will get something new in WW2 72nd, something in 48th, and hopefully something Cold War British in 72nd, we may see some of the new tools re-released and we should expect a bit more focus on the Classic range as they make use of the tools they still have that are not likely to be replaced.

Dennis_C Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) What were 2018 1/72 new tools from Airfix? Is that Phantom, Wellington and Schwalbe? In 1/72 I would bet on a similar mix of 1 British post-war and 2 random WWII types. Edited January 7, 2019 by Dennis_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened to the usual 10:00am UK time for these announcements? Ah!, perhaps it suits the vital US market a little better than us lot? Cheers..

Probably linked to the fact that the Hornby (trains) launch is at 10am - I guess it's all to do with the load on their web-server, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul821 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The Hornby announcements have been made and if anything can be deduced from these: More announcements (414) than in previous years Take on competitors through lower price and/or speed to market Many reliveries, although that is normal for Hornby New models follow on from previous items themes (brake vans, industrial loco's etc Use of old tools (some very old!) for lower price items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
