Maybe a Planesavers DC3 C-FDTD as he flew it recently 😁... Well i do think that this is still a great move from Airfix and i like the idea....

Rabbit Leader Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 4 hours ago, fightersweep said: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AX07007A Steve Hannants also list this kit as 1/48 scale, so I hope all there potential orderers know it’s not. This boxing is certainly something a little left field but it’s good to see Airfix trying something new with some of their older kit moulds (like the 1/48 Canberra) to help pay the bills. It’s not exactly my cup of tea, however if it’s already sold out it may be another marketing angle they can look at. I wish them all the best. Cheers..

Steve I bought the Bomber single as a kid on blue vinyl, natch. A Captain Lockheed & The Starfighters release would be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tomohawk Kid Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) 18 hours ago, Albeback52 said: If they release the Angel Interceptor as a new 1/72 as opposed to 1/100 scale of the original then, I'd be up for that!!😀. As to the Heinkel, I'm no Motorhead fan but, this is one I must have! Pre ordered!😀 Allan The Airfix Angel Interceptor was not too far off 1/72, given that scaling a filming miniature is subjective - most 'Anderophiles' reckon its about 1/80. It is pretty accurate as well, as Airfix had access to the one of the small filming miniatures. It was Imai that made one that scaled out at about 1/100, it also suffered from not being terribly accurate either. I doubt Airfix will be rushing to repop it, as the last time it was about, a decade back it didn't sell well at all. I picked up a shipping box full of them for next to nothing. Getting back on topic, this is really creative licensing from Airfix and a great way of selling their surplus stock of the He 111. Tommo.

That would be good, but you'd have to sort out which mark of the Spitfire to use. When I went to their concert that featured a spitfire flying over the stage, I'd say it was a spitfire, but not necessarily all the right parts ;- ) {apologies to Eric Morecambe and Andre Preview.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) How about a special edition of the Airfix Lancaster or B-17 with Iron maiden decals for "Tailgunner"?

Dennis Or if you are lucky enough to get more than one of these kits, use the spare decals on the Lancaster/B-17.? Incidentally, for anybody interested, Wonderland here in Edinburgh has the kit available to pre order. Apparently available from 1st November.

Good point. Maybe a marketing possibility for Starfix then? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickoshea52 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Out of stock already, eh? I wonder how many have been snaffled by some looking to cash in on the limited edition status by buying in multiple - unless Airfix have restricted buyers to x amount per customer. I’ve seen it before with limited run model railway products. Look out for these appearing on eBay for double the RRP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The principle is correct of course, and I'm hanging on to my Beatles CDs until Ringo and Paul die, I should make a fortune then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masses of them turned up on Ebay at vastly inflated prices. The worst I saw was £100!😮. Someone had actually posted a question to the seller asking why such a high price. The reply ( and, I kid ye not!)was " Dunno mate! I'm just doing what everyone else seems to be doing"! Allan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Uncool Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 An Airfix 1/48 Spitfire Iron Maiden "Aces High" Edition kit ought to ensue! Just hope Monogram don't ever think about doing the same with a Mötley Crüe 1/144 "Rocketship" Edition kit! Durst not even think how gross that would be... Yeh, me doesn't.

And being a bit partial to some Motorhead, I'm straight of to pre-order a couple of these. Nice one Airfix! Now, are there any other model/band cross overs we can think of. I do remember having Good and Gone by the Screaming Blue Messiahs back in the 80s, which I bought purely because it had P-47Ms on the cover. And wasn't there a Mike Oldfield album with an Electra or something on the cover? Steve Budgie did an album called 'Squawk', and had an interesting design on the cover: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squawk_(album) An interesting take on the SR-71 It also had some odd track titles (Budgie were renowned for that!) Cheers, Ray PS Bomber was a great album in my opinion too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
