Grayhawk Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 How about a 1/72 Sea Vixen, Sea Fury or Javalin based on their 1/48th kits? I wouldn't mind a Scimitar or Firebrand as well - in Man Scale (72nd) or Wimp Scale (48th)! Not to mention a new tool Vulcan in 1/72nd! I don't hold my breath for any of them but it would be nice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get Mr Airfix to do a single hole Vampire (he's already half-way there with the T.11), 'tis but a small step (well, maybe not that small ...) to a single-hole Venom. Having gone that far, he might as well go the whole hog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre B Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 How would an box of an 1/72 Scimitar look like? It must be a lot of striking picture's out there of this aircraft (remember Airfix old N.A. 39 box)... Cheers / André 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albeback52 Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Well, I am sure that Airfix's 100th Workbench is going to prove a tad disappointing to those who had got it into their heads that this magical number was somehow linked to announcement of new kit releases!!

I'd be up for at least 1 or 2. Steve. Would they? With all due respect, I am far from convinced that "no collection would be complete without one" is a condition that the Airfix bean counters would accept as grounds for producing a kit!!😀. On a more serious note though, I seem to recall a story featured here (and elsewhere) about the Airfix rep at Telford who was actually approached and asked about such a kit. His response was apparently an outburst of laughter! It may of course be one of those apocryphal stories!!. Certainly no harm in hoping!. Airfix gave us a Swift, another relatively obscure Supermarine product with a less than stellar career. Who knows? They have a habit of springing surprises! Allan ps - I'm still waiting for my Airfix Blenheim V and, Avro Manchester without which my collection of WWII RAF bombers would certainly not be complete! . Not holding my breath though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 To be honest, I think Airfix were entitled to blow their 1/24 Hellcat trumpet in the 100th newsletter. I found it an interesting read, and clearly a lot of time, money and effort has gone into producing what looks to be an amazing kit. Once I've got the requisite shekels, I'll be bagging one for sure. I just wonder sometimes if us modellers are ever happy. Stev 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 (edited) @Albeback52 Sorry Allan, that was not meant to be a serious proposal, hence the wink & laugh emoticons, rather it was an attempt, obviously not very good from the results it got, at a parody of the sort of response these threads seem to get where a lot of effort goes into justifying what "I" want is a sure fire winner for Airfix. I'll get my & shuffle off. Mind you, if they ever did, once I climbed off the floor, I would have a couple like a shot. Steve.

Accepted it in the spirit in which it was intended!. My response was intended to be every bit as tongue in cheek. Apologies to you if you felt I was having a dig. For what it's worth, I'd probably buy a Scimitar if offered! Allan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
