Mr T 4,354 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 13 hours ago, IT_Man said: 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. Sorry, I misunderstood what you meant. Airfix seem to very much to cherry pick what gets upscaled and I am not sure of the criteria, although seems to be where there is a real airframe to look at, which would be the case for the Beaufort, even though it is composite airframe.

71chally 7,486 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 This is incredible news really, a 48th Beaufort to ICM standards is fantastic. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Rabbit Leader 13,117 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Give us a Mk.VIII and it will fly off the shelves Down Under. ICM are good for kitting other / every version so odds on the P&W versions will be forthcoming. Cheers.. Dave 6 Link to post Share on other sites
593jones 1,248 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) I've already got the Airfix on backorder at the Big H, so it looks like I'll be doing the same for the ICM kit. May do Oliver Philpott's aircraft in 1/48 now. Who'd have thought it, a 1/48 Beaufort. Happy days! Edited January 7 by 593jones 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pigsty 1,667 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 I was happy too, til I saw the price. Bit of a dilemma here ... 1/48 to sit next to a Beaufighter, or less than half that for 1/72 to sit next to a Brigand? Link to post Share on other sites
mahavelona 272 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Well I am pumped for this. I was keen to buy the Airfix kit but only as a compromise - 1/48 scale is much preferable! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies 13,053 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I can see me building a couple of these. Very welcome releases 3 Link to post Share on other sites
brewerjerry 672 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) Hi Time to scrap my stalled beaufort vacuform cross kit beaufighter build then perhaps i should start my 1/32 vacuform beaufort , so someone can release an injection one cheers jerry P.S. I just put one on backorder with hannants, having previously cancelled my airfix backorder Edited January 9 by brewerjerry 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

A styrene Armstrong Whitworth Whitley in 1/48 rather than the Sanger vacuform one would be nice.

FM - I don't think so, not at my standard. I have a Sanger Stirling - guess where that is?? Good suggestions though any 1/48 Bomber Command would be welcome. Also Hastings and York 1 Link to post Share on other sites
RHWinter 89 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It seems that here are many amongst us who do not dare expressing their deepest inner wishes: The whole Bomber Command in 1/16th scale. True? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

TEXANTOMCAT 2,178 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I'm not a big fan of the box art especially compared to the rather wonderful examples on other ICM new releases but I'm sure the kit will be a doozy! TT Link to post Share on other sites
