trickydicky210 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Its the 100th Airfix Workbench approching, the last one was no 98 and the 100th is due on the 24th May Airfix announced the Wellington as a new tool on the 50th issue, so there is a good chance a new tool announcement will happen So what could we expect as a suitable choice, for such a prestigious event? I will kick the ball off with: 1/72 Mosquito 1/48 Sea King 1/48 Lancaster 1/48 Harrier 1/72 Vulcan (please keep this to product suggestions, not about quality, panel lines, or Airfix/Hornby business ) Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'll be very happy if they announce they'll be using a real writer rather than the present incumbent! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albeback52 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) No offence but,why should we expect anything?. What I expect is that there will now be a buzz, nay a frenzy of fevered and baseless speculation followed by howls of outrage and disappointment that no "big announcement" was made on the date even though there was never going to be any such announcement !🤣 Allan Edited May 2, 2019 by Albeback52 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 As I am currently working on Kitty Hawk's Jaguar which would be a clear indication that a better kit of this aircraft in 1/48 is on the horizon. At some point I think they will need to produce a 1/48 F-35B as they will be in UK service for many years to come. The fact that others make this same kit should not deter them as they have their own robust distributIon network. They are also due for a re-pop of the TSR-2 (which is in my stash waiting). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 1/72 Scimitar, no collection is complete without one, they'd fairly fly off the shelves. I'd be up for at least 1 or 2. Steve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 No reason to assume there is going to be one, though given they have already done an sneak peak of the 2019 new tools I suspect there might be a sneak peak the first of next decades new tools.......

Denford Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I don't think there will be any announcement until after the release of the Hellcat: the big subject for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre B Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) And what about an accurate 1/72 scale P-51B? Ok, we leave that one to Arma Hobby... Edited May 3, 2019 by Andre B 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 1/72 prentice anyone (as a I saw the skybirds 86 kit go for £120!!!! the other week..) but more likely a Mossie or Lysander (though now Dora are doing one...?) they do have a relationship with ARCO.... or a Battle maybe...

593jones Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 We must be due for a 1/48 Hampden, surely? Would be very welcome here, anyway! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Puff Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Assuming that there is an announcement (as others have said, by no means a certainty), would it be too much to ask for a one-hole Vampire or even, dare I say it, a Venom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 They are obviously retooling their 1/72 C-130 Hercules! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Obviously, it's going to be a 1/24th scale Avro Vulcan. 😜 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Would love a new tool 1:48 early B/C Skyhawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also add a Beaufort in either of the two popular scales, however I doubt these are even on the far sighted radar at Planet Hornby. I’m afraid I’m in the camp of ‘no announcement’ for the 100th edition of workbench however they may have a bunch of new boxart to show. One can hope, but don’t raise your hopes too high. Cheers..

Uncle Dick Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Blimey how many Airfix suggestion topics do we continue to have! I think we should have the Mods open a permanent Airfix Suggestions Thread and notify AIRFIX at the same time 💋❤️💘 1/72 Westland Wasp is my number 1 choice 💋💋💋 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, at some point a re-pop of the TSR 2 was considered, I'd suggest perhaps a complete retool of the 1/72 kit in order to produce the TSR 2 AFTP (Actually Fits Together Properly) version? 1 hour ago, Uncle Dick said: Blimey how many Airfix suggestion topics do we continue to have!
