I'd settle for 1:32 - if only to show Trumpeter what a Lightning REALLY looks like in that scale ...

(Picks up fractured kneecap, inserts lug in lug'ole and exits through little hole in middle of record.)

Come on Iain, Better use the plastic for a 35th/24th Buccaneer, sleek fast and doing a job. Or maybe a nice Sea Venom (oops we had the Matchbox kit), something that looks stately or airworthy. Hey I like the Lightning, all that noise form setting light to parafin! I think you can have too many to chose from. Better to sort out the ones you have than the ones you would like or don't have!

Now think of a good (shape wise) Wessex, a whole family of Wessex kits in 48th and 35th, well maybe 24th if you must. A good Scout and Wasp, a really good Seasprite, a really good Whirlwind (whole family) all subjects that have almost been ignored in the larger scales.

Hey I'm biased towards helicopters but if it expands the range of models we get on the shelves then I 'm happy with that.

Will this release come with Cartograph decals like other new Airfix kits, I hope so.

What is the RRP for the new release?

Shaun.

Hi Shaun, not sure about the RRP but Relish are charging a very very reasonable £24.49 (think I just heard the eBay price hit the floor! ;) ). Mines coming in at £29.07 after p&p. Would imagine going by that price the RRP will be about £29 going by normal Relish prices.
