TheVoidDragon Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 At the start of last year Airfix announced that one of their upcoming kits was a new 1/72 scale Scammel. Since then I've seen nothing more about it and it hasn't been mentioned again since. What happened to that new kit? Was it just delayed or is it not happening?

John Tapsell Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 (edited) The Airfix Scammell was re-released in their 'vintage classics' range in November 2020 but the only new-tool Scammell in this scale that I'm aware of is the IBG one.

Graham Boak Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 They were to have been produced by an outside company and re-boxed, but it never appeared, and I've heard nothing further about the company concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managed to find the page, they were mentioned here: https://uk.airfix.com/community/blog-and-news/workbench/new-decade-airfix-modelling-excellence Quote As already covered with the new Beginner Sets overview, the Airfix team have also produced standard kit versions of both the WWII Sherman Firefly and the mighty Tiger 1 in 1/72nd scale and these will be joined by a new Tractor and Compactor (used during wartime airfield construction), a Scammell Pioneer Recovery Tractor and a Scammell R100 Artillery Tractor. I believe they were also shown in the Airfix 2020 catalogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandsmodels Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 well let us hope they will be made but without mistake like the firefly had. sadly a missed opportunity imho! but some companies just take things off as easy as putting them on a list. easy to say we are going to do this & that and then change their mind.

Orso Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Apparently they decided to let it be: https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missinglynx/viewtopic.php?p=1624190#p1624190 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
