I await now informations/confirmation from a Airfix official communication channel or from those being currently at Telford. V.P.

RHWinter Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 If this is a wish-list: 1/48 Hampden for me. And a Blenheim Mk. IV. Thank you Mr. Airfix. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikB Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The only thing “new” is this, according to the Airfix staff. https://flic.kr/p/2nYYMMG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denford Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It has been said, I forget where, that they won't release a Hampden until the Cosford restoration is complete. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Puff Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 It was fairly obvious that the FR.9 was coming, just from looking at the extra bits in the F.8 box. A new 1:72 Halifax would be nice, though ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedders Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I'll have one. Need to buy an 8 first though. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welkin Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Pity that they can't do something similar with their Spitfire FR.XIVe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit Leader Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 So is this the surprise? I’m quite happy to have a FR.9 option in 1/72 scale. Airfix themselves did mention that there would not be a Telford “Big Bang’ announcement, so actually seeing anything new/newish is always positive news in my books. Cheers..

Adam Poultney Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) The FR.9 parts, I was told, will only ever be released in the Airfix Club exclusive kit. They also said that since a lot of the recent kits haven't been displayed at a show yet, they wanted to give those a chance to be shown off rather than overshadow them with a new release Edit: I have been corrected, from the source. It is only an exclusive next year, a regular FR9 box is possible in future years Edited November 14, 2022 by Adam Poultney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure if they could offer postage prices somewhere closer to realism, they would increase their International membership threefold. Alas, if that’s the case, it won’t be a kit for me. Cheers..
