Airfix have one of their flyer email out today going on about Merlin Powered aircraft. Listed are both the new Mossie and a Welly Mk II, both available for pre ordering.

Got that and I must admit the I hadn't been aware of their plans for the Wellington until then.

The breakdown of the aircraft and the fact the front of the nacelles with the engines are on a separate sprue did scream at me "I AM SEPERATE SO I CAN HAVE DIFFERENT ENGINS etc"

Hmm, so who's going to build a Welly with Darts?

Didn't they release a pic of a built up MkII a while ago?  Back when they first released the new mould IIRC.
I'm sureI knew that this was on the way.  It's not a surprise anyway.

[kitnut617]

Wasn't it revealed accidentally in an advent calendar one year ----

[Gondor]

If I remember correctly, I first saw a pic/cad drawing of a Mk.!! when the releced the cad/pics of the Mk.1. One of them slipped in I think. Airfix are also going to be re-relecing the Valiant for anyone that's interested.

I have had mine for sale for several years but I am in the US and it doesn't seem that popular here.

[McColm]

Another future build.

[Gondor]

Just realised that the Blue Steel Sprue in the new Vulcan kit is actually the same one from the Victor kit. I had wondered a few days ago about the tail cone that didn't look as if it went with the Vulcan.

There's a one man band doing 3d printed stuff that may be doing the projected Viper engined Blue Steel at some point.  Well, I suggested it and he seemed keen, so it's possible...

The edition of Workbench I just got e-mailed has a big report on the next edition of the Valiant, box art looks good, and some pictures of the first sprue shots for the Tempest V.

Here's the link, looks good:

They've moulded the drop tanks clear so you can do the fairings acurately.
