VMA131Marine Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 The 2022 Airfix Vintage Classics list had a couple of welcome choices but ignored a lot of kits that have not been re-issued in a very long time and that I would really like to see again. Here’s what I’d like to see for future Airfix Vintage Classics: 1/72 BAC TSR.2 Boeing B-29 Cessna O-1 Bird Dog Cessna O-2A Skymaster Curtiss SB2C Helldiver Dassault Super Mystere Douglas A-26B/C Invader Douglas F4D-1 Skyray Grumman TBM-3 Avenger Heinkel He 177A-5 Henschel Hs 129B Kaman SH-2F Seasprite Lockheed F-117A Lockheed S-3A Viking McDonnell F2H Banshee Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet North American F-86D Sabre Dog North American RA-5C Vigilante Rockwell B-1B Lancer Saab J-35 Drakken Supermarine S.6b Westland Puma 1/32 Bond Bug Morris Marina Austin Maxi Porsche Carrera Six 1/48 Grumman EA-6B Prowler BAC TSR.2 1/600 MV Free Enterprise II 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Many of the 1/72 kits have more recent competition but I'm right with you about the 2 Cessnas, Seasprite and the Puma. Others (eg Banshee and Viking) are also still good enough to sell well, IMHO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Some good choices there, although I reckon the O2 mould might not be in good condition. I built one from an early seventies moulding and it was a bit of trial. If I could add to your list, The Lynx brushes up well, although it needs production intakes. The SRN-1 hasn't had an outing since the seventies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMA131Marine Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Yes, I should have added the SRN-1. That was an oversight on my part. I have an original issue in the stash and it’s a nice kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Another vote for the SRN.1 from me. Great list of kits there that I hope we see again in the Classic range. My only other additions would be the Piper Cherokee Arrow and some of the 1/32 cars that haven't been seen since their initial releases (and subsequently fetch ridiculous prices on that auction site) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
