Well you can squash this rumour as I had heard that Airfix were going to do an Auster and just assumed it would be a new tooling in 1/48th. However their announcement today has just dashed all hopes of that and it is yet another reissue of their 1/72 Auster Antarctic....with new transparencies...whoopy do! 

 

Not exactly what we all hoped for, however I'll settle with new transparences and decals with the old 1/72 moulded kit.

Be nice to get a new sprue of accurate ski's too, but that's probably doubtful.

Not what was anticipated, not my scale. Maybe next year.

Expected Summer 2023 in the Vintage Classics range - 1/72 scale - ref. A01023V - Auster Antarctic

This will do for me, I am very happy with the reissue, especially with new glazing and high quality transfers.

Very happy to to see this, brings back childhood memories, very happy I didn't buy the one I saw at a car boot sale on Sunday that was going for twenty quid 😁
