Oh they do! Cool. ..and I have an Aurora/SMER one in my stash to do. Will also get an Airfix one - Gerry Anderson "Thunderbird SIx" decals please!!! BTW, the artwork shown above is clearly for the Shuttleworth's Tiger Moth, as it is inaccurate if you want to build a 1932 CFS Aerobatic Team machine (see my Warpaint Tiger Moth book) Edited January 7, 2019 by AMB 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having young nephews being able to model the actual plane they've just seen and photographed of course saves a lot of explaining. It's also a good way of getting funds for the warbird owners who will be able to sell 'personalised' kits at shows. I know a lot of people who are going to be very happy with this. Not my thing but I'm very tempted. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ka-Efka Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 That's really a nice surprise! Hope the recent evolution in Airfix' tools department will help us to a very nice kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off you head to speak Jaime Anderson, he has buttoned up all the Anderson licensing these days. That said he has been progressive with it, so who knows?

Admiral Puff Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 The pick of the crop of the 2019 releases! Lots of schemes, both military and civil - I can see a few Aussie cropdusters in my future ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am presently building one of the original aircraft converted from the 1/72 kit. There's more to it than you might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradleygolding Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Fantastic to see this. Some bits look a bit chunky and over scale though, control horns and joy sticks spring to mind. No sign of an Aussie air filter either, so from a downunder perspective that is an issue. Well done Airfix, now all we need is a 1/24 scale one!

k5054nz Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Fantastic news, and I finished the SMER kit a few weeks ago so you're all welcome. Not sold on the rear cockpit legroom in the CAD though...I really, really hope that's not final! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flarpen Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Well this is very welcome indeed, their 1/72 release is very nice so I have hi hopes for this one. A decent 1/48 Tiger Moth have been overlooked for waaaaay to long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the kit it will be super( I hope) and all we need next is the Chipmunk in both primary scales (72 and 48) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkSH Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 About time! and yes the Chippie next!!......please. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don McIntyre Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Well, I did have a self-imposed ban on buying anymore biplane kits (one has to draw the line somewhere), it looks like this one will break that. Looks heaps better than the old Aurora kit. I'd be in for at least one. Yes to the Chipmunk as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
