Airfix

Seems that Airfix will be doing the Shackleton as an AEW.2 at some point too. A photo of the prototype at London Toy Fair 2015 shows the MR.2 with the AEW.2 radome fitted.

Lovely ! Nice to see that. It's a great pic as well as I was looking for ideas on how to add a few bits to the roof of my old kit, and that shows it perfectly

Also nice to see the Whitley. I love the shape of those engine nacelles ! Would look good on almost any fighter, or how about 4 of them on a Lanc or Halifax ?

So the Wildcat has a folding wing option ?

Just like some furniture and carpet store's sales, it seems the Airfix 'Last Chance Sale' wasn't the 'Last Chance'.

It's just been re-fettled at http://www.airfix.com/shop/last-chance-to-buy-collection.html?utm_source=Hornby+PLC&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=217890_Airfix+-+LCTB+-+Week+43+2015&utm_content=LCTB&dm_i=2DJZ,4O4I,22Y11P,9XDC,1

I was in one of Adelaide's larger Hobby Shops on Sunday.
An entire wall devoted to aircraft kits but a distinct lack of any new tool Airfix.

Correctamundo.
We were visiting Mrs z's Uncle & Aunty who live round the corner and it would have been rude not to drop in.

I'll be returning to Adelaide (for good) in a couple of weeks, next time you're in town let me know & we'll see if we can catch up.

zenrat · January 27, 2015, 01:34:50 AM

I'll do that.

NARSES2 · January 28, 2015, 07:22:53 AM

The latest SAM has some nice pics of the new tools plus a release schedule. Pics reveal that it's not just the Wildcat with a folded wing option, the Kate has one as well

The Deiant was primed this morning. It'll be ready for 'uddersfield.
