I should pop into my LHS and have a look eh 

[KiwiZac]

That caption is a what if - "A girl making an Airfix Spitfire model aeroplane"....there's one on the desk (which looks to me to have been Photoshopped in) but she's working on a Hurricane >_<

That headline is incredibly misleading. They mention Airfix Engineer "could" attract girls, and the guy they spoke to said "We should be looking at girls". Not are, SHOULD BE.

Yesterday's Advent Calendar window was a lovely stop-motion build of the new 1/72 Fokker E.II. Today is another, super-scale competition:

Win the Airfix Hawker Typhoon MkIb 1:24 kit in time for Christmas!

It's competition time! We are giving you the chance to win the Hawker Typhoon MkIb 1:24 kit worth £99.99

Enter for your chance to WIN here.

Looking forward to the E.II. Have plans for a real world one plus a float plane in Imperial Austrian service

Airfix has now put the Eindecker video on Facebook and YouTube: https://youtu.be/xS77jH4cqMw

I'm not interested - I'd rather 1/32 so will get a Wingnut Wings kit - but I am pleased to see the reactions to it.

It's when I watch those videos I almost wish we had never progressed....live in some kind of Miyazaki world of aircraft. So simple and so beautiful.

It's the Red Arrows 1/48th Gnat & Hawk for £20 today.

I wonder if they actually have any surprise new releases in the Advent Calendar this year, most of it this time around is marketing and shelf clearing offers for Christmas but they may do some news on the 2016 releases or possibly a teaser for something lined up for 2017 ?

BTW it sounds like the new Sea King HC4 will miss its December deadline and instead appear mid January which is a shame

[KiwiZac]

They really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel for Advent Calendar promos this year. A couple of days ago it was a guide to using their website's Wishlist feature. For real.

My fingers are crossed for at least one reveal.

And as a retailler tells me the Sea King HC.4 is delayed till January i get an email from Hornby saying my Pre-Order is being picked and the kit is now in stock  - Typical

And just to add to the confusion, the club winter magazine lists it as coming out in March.....

Ah, my mistake: the one that's out in March is the gift set with a yellow colour scheme.

[NARSES2]

Well I'm awaiting the Ju87 which is still down as a pre-order

And right on cue, Airfix have launched their Winter Sale:
