PLC1966 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 50th Anniversary of 1982. A 1/6 Jock Taylor Sidecar would be a great memorial to his 50th year since passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like their design and development might be speeding up a little, now bring production back to the UK and this lag will reduce even further. Cheers..

With there having been recent talk of fitting at least some form of CATOBAR to the QE I suspect they may hold off a little before investing in a tooling that could very rapidly need updating!

Maybe a bit more likely is a boxed set with one each of the V-bombers and a bonus MiG-17 trying to intercept them. In recent years, Airfix has managed to produce something predictable and some complete surprises. I am sure there will be some releases with new parts and decals to make new variants. Lets hope the designers have had a good year working from home. And I have written in my wish list on Airfix Facebook page after the invite in the Advent Calendar.

Paul J Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I have mentioned this date in another thread here somewhere. But for me, I hope the 2022 catalogue will be out around the same time which will be added to my collection of Airfix catalogues. That way I won't have to worry about the site being off line for however long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others would include a 'Vulcan scramble' with four kits in the box, and the TSR2, which is the most expensive, but you only get two in the box. 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Violet Club Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I'm still dreaming of a 1/72 V-force Ground vehicle Set with Blue Danube and Yellow Sun on trolleys and the RAF minibus used on V-Forces bases... A similar set as the one released for WW2 bombers some years ago. And of course, an accurate Javelin and Sea Vixen (new molds) in 1/72 scale ! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 A 'predictable 1/72 kit' might just mean a re-re-tooled Bf 109G-6 with decals for this well-known done-to-death ace or that well-known done-to-death ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David H Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Not to sound snide, but i hope they do a better job at maintaining secrecy than previous years where know-it-alls blow the surprise. -d- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to play Warhammer 40k and product leaks happened all the time (I keep a distant eye on it and they still happen, in fact there's an upcoming potential box set which may revive my interest in that if it is what it appears to be), it's very fun speculating based on blurred images of the photos of models on the back of a box, or one sprue from a new kit that somehow ended up in the wrong kit. Builds a lot of hype and actually I wouldn't be surprised if some of those leaks aren't leaks at all and are actually intentional. So Airfix, if you want to "accidentally" send a random sprue from an upcoming kit my way, feel free! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Lancasters and a Vulcan, got to make the set we got to see flying in 2014! Anyway, back to actual rumours before we get this thread shut down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickydicky210 Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 That’s the Ark Royal as the image, thanks to Dave Cov spotting it. From the title I think it’s an aircraft? 1/48 Buccaneer or Phantom? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all that is Holy don't let it be the first attempt re-issued after they found a way to repair the moulds. Whatever they release I know I'll end up with one. Not bothered by the Sabre but seeing it in my 'local' hobby shop I found myself considering a purchase yesterday.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainpeden Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 The idea of a rejuvenated 1/48 Buccaneer isn't so far fetched. The ability to lidar and then produce a new fuselage, given that was always the weak point,, and use the existing moulds for wings etc. Years back that's what happened with the 1.48 Tornado GR.1 and F.3 (ME 410 is my bet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know a huge amount about them but from watching the recent TV series it would surely be a completely new kit better than what they produced before.
