Well I was quite taken with the Avro Canada Huron, and I suspect one will end up as a Jabo somewhere over Ostland as part of the Fatherland build.

This one -

Hmm, I could think of one good use for the long body MiG-15 that comes to mind, and would rectify how ugly the nose is... might have to get one, methinks...

[thedarkmaster]

Well I've lookked at it and i like it, got myself two and may get more as the Empires Twighlight can always use them

have just received the official 2010 list from Airfix at work... obviously I can't divulge anything as this info is embargoed but expect a pair of 1/48 British big cats...

I did a Luftwaffe '46/'47 version of the old Airfix Mig-15 ages ago - before I'd even heard of whiffing (in the kit bashing sense, I don't mean stinking!), using Italeri FW190F-8 decals.  Used a Humbrol grey for the undersides rather than Lichtblau, but apart from that it looked the part.  Would use the old one again to do th same - but with more attention paid to the actual colours used.
Model was built somewhere warm and sandy and still hanging from the same ceiling when I revisited said place 2 1/2 years later!

Many 1/72 aircraft on that list (other than any carry-overs from the 2009 plan)?  
Just been to the Airfix website and lo! The angel of the Lord came down and presented the list at http://www.airfix.com/new-for-2010/

New Tool Aircraft 1:72 Scale
A01071A - Spitfire Mk1a
A03080 - Messerschmitt Bf110 C/D
A03081 - Messerschmitt Bf110 E
A03082 - North American F-86F Sabre
A03083 - North American Sabre Mk.4 Canadair
A03085 - BAe Hawk T1
A04050 - BAe Harrier GR9
Limited Edition
A11001 - Vickers Valiant - 1:72 Scale

Some very good news there, I'd say.  
I wonder what the Spit 1a re-pop will be - new kit?  Old kit plus additional parts?  accompanying picture suggests new tool or reworked existing tool.
Hawk will surely be a variation on the new Red arrows T1, but will the Harrier GR9 be a brand new tool or an adaptation of the existing GR7?  Haven't seen the Airfix Club version but seem to recall seeing some one saying it's based on the GR7 (but could be mistaken).
'Bout time the 110 was redone.
The Sabres, though.  All new or revamps of the old Heller kit?
And a Valiant!!!

Oh gods Aircav will be ordering Lynx by the carton rather than per kit (Although wouldn't put a pallets worth past him  )

Seafire 17 sounds good however(my dad worked on those in the FAA)

Valiant will be of course be a must and hopefully they will finally do a V-Bomber with a detailed bomb bay !!!

Battlefront sounds interesting, i wonder with teh ruined buildings if they are going back to those famous battle dioramas they didm with the vacform base (notice a new set of small scale British Infantry, as opposed to re-issue)
