John R Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 I saw this on the Airfix website and sent in an entry but have not seen anything else (i.e other entries or results) about it since and Airfix have not responded to my queries. Does anybody know anything about it? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know anything about it? John I am equally mystified by the radio silence from Airfix. I did enquire on the competition thread on FB several weeks ago (well after the competition had closed) as to when the winning entries would be revealed but there was no reply. Perhaps there is a good reason for no announcement but if they want to encourage entries for any future competition then keeping entrants informed would be a nice start.

John R Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 I am glad that someone else is having the same problem. I was beginning to feel that I was either living in a parallel universe or had imagined the whole thing. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinbear Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 You're not alone! As it happens, I have just checked the Airfix FB page (how I hate FB) and a chap called Paul Bradley has posed the same question. The disingenuous response 15 hours ago was "Hi Paul, the deadline was 14th October - no date was set for the announcement of winners. Ian Black, our judge, is currently deliberating on the many incredible shots submitted" which seems to ignore the T&Cs which stated that the winner would be notified within 14 days of the close and had to choose their prize within 14 days, so 11th November if my counting of the days is correct.

John R Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 At least Airfix have replied. My queries on the FB page disappeared. At least they could have updated the competiton site to say 'hold your horses, we are overwhelmed' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John R Posted November 19, 2022 Author Share Posted November 19, 2022 Another mischievious thought. Perhaps there are problems with Ian Black over his fee. 'When I signed up I did not expect thousands of entries. Do you expect me to work for months for peanuts?' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John R Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Still no results. Has anybody heard or seen any? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shearwater Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 @John R no, I’ve also been searching and can’t find anything yet. The excitement builds… 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingTiger435 Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 this is not related to the issue specifically but I'm not happy with this competition overall. I signed up for it, filling out the form took about half an hour and for whatever reason, airfix decided to put the T&Cs at the end of the form that's when I found out the competition is 18+, after completely filling out the form and getting all excited. (I was mere months away from turning 18 but couldn't sign up for legal reasons) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
