Talk to me nicely.............  ;D :lol:
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! :)

Many thanks Weaver for the link. Another site to sift through :thumbsup:. Here's some poor photos of the Spitfire XII:





Lovely kit all round, well done Airfix.

I can tell you the new Hurricane is a beauty !!!  I've assembled mine to the point of ready to paint and it's a tight fit. Only putty needed is due to my being careless cutting off the part.  My only complaint would be to have fuel tanks.

Librarian

I was so chuffed with the Spit XII that I popped out and picked up the Mk.I/II boxing and the Seafire XVII and FR.46 kits (don't much care for the FR.47). Much industry under way ;D. I noticed in the I/II box parts that could hint at a V or even an VIII (retractable tailwheel, tropical Vokes). Has anyone else discussed this possibility?

NARSES2

I'm looking forward to the 1/24th Typhoon - one of my all time favourite aircraft  :wub:

As mentioned the new tool Hurricane is a beauty - I can see a whole wing of them being needed as it's a much more logical wif for pre-war European AF's then the Spitfire in my view

2014 club kit will be a "Operation torch" package... 1:72nd Hurricane and Swordfish

Green Dragon

Got the Airfix email yesterday announcing the new Hurri and saw a survey which asks for kit suggestions so if anyone wants Airfix to do something you'd like, have a go! I put around 20-30 on including a new VC-10, Beaufighter, Super King Air 200, Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 and Bucaneer.

I just did the same Paul, only I forgot to add the aircraft that the Sentinel is based on to my wish list  :banghead: I did add a new tool Vulcan and a Victor though.  ;D

Did it as well, pushed the British Phantom FG1 & FGR2 for RN & RAF, cold war Airfield vehicles and decent posable groundcrew, flight deck vehilces and deck crew plus of course the 1/350th Ark Royal IV  ;D.

Sentinel R1 would be nice but i think they would await its fate in 2015 SDSR before tolling a new kit, (there is a new 1/72nd resin one out by Anigrand for those hard core enough to buy one !)
