Nice service that the kit comes with both fully molded and separate running gear elements.

Puts the cost up a bit, but it's nice to have the option.  Will suit both modellers and wargamers, as well as making it easy for beginners.

I just wish they'd release the Angel Fighter in 1/24 ...

If you mean the Angel Interceptor then releasing it in 1/72 would be good (as IIRC their old kit is under scale, even if the anatomically incorrect pilot isn't).

I didn't realise that, cheers Dizzy

One of the local LHS's had those on sale a couple of years back, but having seen the disappointing size, decided not to inflate the stash with one. Though, it would have been whiffed anyway into an AeroSpaceFighter of some sort from the BattleTech universe (faction and unit to be determined), but even for that purpose it seemed too tiny - unless it was actually 1:100 or 1:144 scale-o-rama with a smaller canopy and less awkward landing gear, maybe with larger canards too. Hmm, that gives me an idea...

(Nope, local TV never ran Captain Scarlet to my knowledge.)

1/48 Canadair Sabre F.4 box art and decal schemes for 3 & 4 Sqns.  Should be released in January.

FAR too much emphasis on 1/48 at Airfix these days, they need to remember their roots........

I second that! 1/48 and bigger is for old farts with declining eye sight and numb fingers.

...

Wait a minute...

Unfortunately given the way my eyesight and hand/eye co-ordination is going that may well be me in the New Year

I can still build 1/144 kits......................

But Airfix haven't made a new 1/144 for 40 years!

[NARSES2]

Just got an e-mail through announcing 3 "new" 1//35 scale tanks :

King Tiger ; M3  Lee/Grant ; M12 GMC.

King Tiger and M3 aren't unexpected, but the M12 is a bit of a surprise.

No way for me Kit. There's lots of 1/700 scale ships I'd love to have a crack at, but I've got no chance and 1/350 scale ones require a negotiating session with the World Bank
