Erm why not your a Whiffer why not a 2 seater who says it has to be a trainer  :wacko:

Yup I suppose so. Vampires do fit into my extended WWII scenario, I'll think about it, probably succumb in the end  :banghead:

The Merlin looks great in the latest AMW magazine.....ssoooooooo tempted....

It does, dosn't it ? And I'm not a helicopter man
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I for one look forward to the Vampire T-bird, Lightning F2A and the Tiffie, all of which have been mentioned on previous wish lists left in Mr Airfix's suggestions box at successive SMWs.

So it's my fault.

And if that is the case expect 1/72 B and PR Mosquitos!

It does look nice dont get me wrong but theres other things more to my taste on my wish list :)

Mossie

Chirs, a Vampire trainer would look good in late wartime colours, ID yellow undersides and stripes, camo tops, squadron codes on the nose.  I'm sure you could come up with a scenario for it to carry bombs or rockets!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The Wooksta!

Except you'd have to backdate the airframe - earlier tailbooms, no bang seats, framed canopy and possibly the earlier extended wingtips.

The more I think about it, the more I'm actually looking forward to the Vampire T and it's the first release this year.

Two things, one has anyone noticed that the sample image of the new mould Dambuster has "AJ-T"s belly gun ? I thought that was quite interesting...

And two: Has anyone received the "soviet" themed Airfix club kit yet ? I have questions... lol

Although most importantly I wanted to know are they the new moulds ? Or are they flogging off the old ones to the club like normal ? lol

Lancaster looks cracking.

That Lanc does look good, yes. If the Dam Busters version comes out first. as commenetd further down the post, a 'Standard' BI or BIII can't be far behind.

And what's 'New' about the RAF SAR Sea King? Looks just like the old one to me, and it would be difficult to beat the Revell one.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I agree, along with that re-supply set.  The other releases look good too, the Vampire looks great painted up.

Kit, the Sea King isn't a new tool, it's labelled as 'New for 2013'.  It's a perrenial favourite I guess, wasn't long ago since it was last out.  A candidate for a new tool in the future?

The resupply set looks good, too. And I'm definitely getting a couple of Vampires.

I wonder why they bother sometimes, it has almost more rivets than a Frog Shackleton!

I'm in for a Vampire T11 or two as well, it was the first jet I ever flew in.  ;D

Think I might join the Airfix Club this year: the membership price has come down, there's a raft of new kits that I want and I've got shed loads of flying hours tokens.....
