Mr T Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 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 Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 This is incredible news really, a 48th Beaufort to ICM standards is fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
593jones Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 (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, 2021 by 593jones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahavelona Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A styrene Armstrong Whitworth Whitley in 1/48 rather than the Sanger vacuform one would be nice. Also good would be a 1/48 Short Stirling and Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost of the Hampden kit is insignificant compared to the counselling costs afterwards! 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHWinter Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jb65rams Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Just had a quick look at the catalogue, looks like they are also doing a 1/48 WWII British Torpedo Trailer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TEXANTOMCAT Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
