Airfix are flogging off their last stocks of some items at serious discount prices via a special page on their website. Orders limited to 3 per customer of any given item:

Looks like most of them are gift sets and some are already out of stock. Of the ones that are still available, the 1:48th British Forces Patrol and Support set looks like particularly good value, with a Lynx, a WMIK Landy and an infantry pack for £20. There's also a 1/48th Bf.109/Spitfire VB dogfight double for £12 and a 1/72nd RAFBF Hawk for £6.50.

It's already flogged, it's zero stock!
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! :)

Kit id say keep checking if you want any, when I got the e-mail yesterday ( 6pm) the Op Herric stuff was sold out, I got a call at 9:40 from a couple of  friends to ask if I wanted any as they were ordering stuff, and when I looked, as if by magic it was there again.   need less to say ive got more modern shines on the way, at a price so cheap even Mrs SteelPenguin said its a bargain and id be a fool not to get. :wub:  :thumbsup:
the things you learn, give your mind the wings to fly, and the chains to hold yourself steady
take off and nuke the site form orbit, nope, time for the real thing, CAM and gridfire, call special circumstances. 
wow, its like freefalling into the Geofront

I like the way you think!

Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Yes I'd like to see a new tool Buccaneer in 1/72. It would be one of the few "modern" aircraft in my collection. I will add the Swift when it's out and I will probably add the new Lightning if my local Smiths/MZ gets it in as I like the grey scheme.

Talking of Buccaneers, I see Revell have one out in Mid Sept. I'm assuming it's the old Matchbox kit and not a new tool ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I was just thinking that on the bright side, all this Airfix stuff I'm way behind on might actually be in by the time I get home !

Well I was trying to buy a Vostock, a SHAR, a Landy and a pakwagon since last night, but in between the Airfix site not recognising my password, not sending me a password reset e-mail, then not connecting to paypal, then finally getting the order in, the SHAR and the Landy had gone out of stock.... :banghead:

Email from Airfix today and one of the items was a "new" Fouga Magister. Irish and Belgian markings. Now I'm assuming it's someone else's tooling ?

could be the ex-heller mould  :unsure:

as for the marking, the Belgian one is wrong, the camo scheme was only applied to one aircraft as part of a test, it was never used operationally. the Belgian Fouga's were metal/dayglo, just like the Irish ones  :rolleyes:
