GTX Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) This is fantastic news. I have long wanted an injection moulded 1/48 Beaufort. Edited January 6, 2021 by GTX 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how this will impact on sales of the Airfix Beaufort...will people want to wait for the ICM kit? The Airfix one is 1/72. This will be 1/48 so possibly little if any impact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not with ine in 1/72 and one in 1/48 though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTX Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Are there any verifications from ICM? Neither their website or their facebook page mention anything at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Wow, after the Go 242 the next 2021 win from ICM (for me anyways) 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Wondrr if its why the Airfix launch got delayed? Maybe they were going to produce but now re-consider? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 1 hour ago, IT_Man said: Wondrr if its why the Airfix launch got delayed? Maybe they were going to produce but now re-consider? No, the Airfix kit 1/72nd scale, not 1/48th and Airfix have much wider distribution and why should they, it has been advertised and a build shown off in Airfix Model World. Airfix are not going to pull the plug at the last minute when release is due about March, there is too much invested at this stage. Airfix have had to put back a number of releases because of the effect of the pandemic. The kits are produced in India, the decals in Italy and the boxes in the UK. None of these counties is exactly covid free and all that entails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IT_Man Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 No, I meant maybe if they were also going to do in 1/48 (like Blenheim). But still from ICM is good - the kits have taken a big step forwards in the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I would have bought the Airfix kit in absence of an injected kit in 1/48 but now...bye bye Airfix, hello ICM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickydicky210 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 ICM really have upped their game Looking more likely that hey will give us a Hampden ahead of Airfix can see The news from the East in Jan 2022 might be more anticipated than Airfix 😏 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 This is very exciting and certainly a great addition to the 1/48 scale market! ICM makes great kits, this is very welcome and now they will happily get more of my money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt-92 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Hmm... knowing ICM's versioning track record, there may be a chance of a DAP Mk.V somewhere down the line 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
