No idea what to expect to come out of Kent in a red box. Will we see a 1/350 QEC? Ark Royal IV (either 1:700 or more likely, 1:350) would go well with all their recent FAA jets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Would it be better if I just renamed the previous year's thread and winnowed out the kits that Airfix actually produced? It'd save everyone copying and pasting their wishlists over and over? 4 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike, half the fun is trying to remember what was the 'must have, they will sell by the bucket load and the world needs this kitted' wish lists from last year, and it is fun seeing what has changed! For my halfha'porth it is a 1/72 Gloster Javelin as they have done the research, and we can buy more of them and fit them in the same space as a single 1/48 one on the shelf (or in the stash).

jenko Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If it's a Balliol in 1/48 can we have Trevor band as he won't stop talking about it ?? Dick Only joking Trev.👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Poultney Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 What about a Fiesler Storch or Me410? Airfix scanned the entire hangar they're in at Cosford for the RAF Museum and can use all the data they gathered, so these are surely possibilities? Me140 in 1/72 and Storch in 1/48 would be my bet if they did either of them. Both seem to be Airfix-ish subjects to cover 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Now I definitely wouldn't mind Airfix doing a Me 410 in 1/72nd scale. That is a possibility since (lincoln) they scanned, as you say, (Lincoln) the entire hangar they're in at (LINCOLN) Cosford. All right, LINCOLN, LINCOLN, LINCOLN!

Surely a model of the town of Lincoln is a bit niche, although not so much as a kit of its Avro namesake 😉🤣 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt-92 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I think I might want to see a Scuttlefish: Should be doable. Get the Tucano nose and add it to the Swordfish. Makes for a great Club kit and it's carrier capable for QE or PoW as well! C'mon Airfix, you know you want to 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
