lasermonkey Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not showing up here.I've been refreshing their homepage and changed the new for 2019 to new for 2020 with nothing so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeR Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 The leaks rather took the shine off it but I'm rather happy with the three 1/72 new tools, particularly the Beaufort! I can see a few more RAAF Spitfire Vc's on the horizon too! Interesting that Airfix are dipping their toes into the 1/35 tank world with their own tooling of the Cromwell Mk. IV. My only niggle being that it's the same variant as the Tamiya kit although a Mk. VI is on the cards. Mike. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichG Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Airfix website verrrrrrrrry slooooooooow... loading. I wonder why that can be....🤔 Strange, considering there is nothing to see here as there are no cats left in the Airfix 2020 bag... how soon before we get the first... It's not what I wanted, its the wrong scale, there's nothing for me here.... always really interesting to know these things Rich Edited January 6, 2020 by RichG 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) A good selection. Just a very minor quibble: I hope they get the correct registration for the Edmonton-Canada Spitfire XIV. The artwork at the moment has CF-MGZ on the rudder: https://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/new-for-2020/supermarine-spitfire-mkxiv-race-schemes.html And it should be CF-GMZ: https://www.alamy.com/supermarine-spitfire-mkxive-tz138-cf-gmz-c1949-image69929550.html I'll be getting of these, for sure.

Foxbat Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 A few 'meh', some 'cool' and at least 2 'WOW!!' from me. Not a bad selection. Looks like they've covered enough bases just about everyone will have something to complain about Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Their website is veeeery slow at this moment, I suppose there are so many of us! So far, one Beaufort and two Mk. Vc Spits have found their way to my pre-order cart . Edit: I will get them but not directly from Airfix; 17 GBP per delivery would have me pay 40 GBP for the three kits and 34 for s&h. Thank God we still have hobby shops... But I'm very happy for the Beaufort!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TEXANTOMCAT Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Blimey they're really banging out the Quickbuilds - the F-35 is a nice touch! Surprised that they are re-releasing the old Top Gun kits but its pretty cool nonetheless - the dogfight doubles of 262/P-51 and A-4 and MiG-17 are as expected... They have obviously been keeping track of whats been going for big bucks on ebay - vis Lanc II, Javelin, Bentley have all made a comeback - am a bit surprised that the 1/24 Spit Hurri and 109 are back though.... The Beaufort fills a nice gap and will sell well - hope they sort the canopy on the Spit Vc! - The 1/48 Sabre is a bit of a surprise I thought that had been done to death - look out for a Golden Hawks boxing anon.... And no new Hunter variants so the FR.10 must be next year! G-FIRE as a racing XIV. Here's my freaking money!!!!! All in all well done Airfix - 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flarpen Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not much that peeks my interest I must say. The kits I'm looking forward to be released are the Hunter mk.4 and the tiger moth in 1/48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
occa Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Could get in relatively quickly. It's only a bit confusing as it doesn't show the respective scales for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZK302 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Some welcome reboxings with a few brand new kits. On the whole a fairly cautious release schedule for 2020. Will the Beaufort be a big seller for Airfix? Whatever our initial thoughts to this list I hope the mix of some old and new releases is a success for Airfix this year (because they certainly need a good year of sales again).

JamesP Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Maverick F-18 is listed as a "new tool"!? and so is his P-51D (back seat?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesP Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 .. and of course the Maserati Indy is back - I've just finished one (vintage boxing) last year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The F-18 in the new Top Gun movie is an E or F, which Airfix have never had in their range before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCZ Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hmmm :( A only quarter scale new is - Sabre ?! Academy and Hasegawa offer are still nice... and relative cheap... But i hope in attractive R.A.F./ Italian/Yugoslavian marking as are in 1/72 kit... No "car scale" aircraft.... No new 1/48 B-17, B-24, Lancaster... No 1/72 B-one, O/400, or Halifax and 1/72 B-29 Superfortress/Washington/Tu-4... Beaufort are great, but is in small scale :/ Spit Mk. Vc - good choice, but too in small scale. Concorde prototype is interesing, but probably a only decal version ? I think a traditional european kits producers are "in clinic dead" and great news coming from Asia and Middle Europe & Eastern Europe... Huh- Cromwell - nice... but Tamiya offer is shake and bake kit for few bucks... For me - is still MUST BUY a Vulcan - but there was announced in October :( 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been in the catalogue before and not been released. I assume this time they’ve worked out the licensing rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) That's an open canopy! I'm happy! -also, lanc bii reissue? Yes pls -1/24 109 reissue? Nice -1/24 Spitfire reissue.... They were cheap anyway though Edited January 6, 2020 by Adam Poultney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess it's because it's the Eightieth anniversary of the Battle of Britain this year. Dave 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
