New tool Gnat! :wub: :wub: :wub: (pity it's the trainer not the fighter though (destined for Red Arrows colours, no doubt))

New tool Cromwell in 1/76th  :thumbsup:


Now there's an incentive to get another job:  I need to stock up on Angel Interceptors..... ;D

A new Gnat trainer?  Why worry about the fighter - they never carried proper colours anyway!

Hmmn.  Gnat and Swordfish on the airshow circuit...

A Gnat F.1 or Ajeet would have been nice.

I'm trying - and sadly failing - to get excited about the 1/72 aircraft releases.  I'd have thought the P-40D would have been a likelier candidate for a new tool than the P-40B given the age of the current 'incumbent' and yes the Gnat and the Swordfish will I'm sure be nice - I hope they are all good kits and commercial successes for Airfix but nothing really grabs the grabbables as far as my interests go (maybe a Zero - just for something different).  

In 1/72 a Mossie PR/bomber range would have been good, ditto a B2/B6 Canberra.  A re-release of the Banshee would have been nice, too.
;D ;D

I agree about the P-40. Would have thought it would have been a D as well, but perfectly happy with a B. And a Swordfish in 1/72 with folded wings  :thumbsup:

It looks a nice rounded release programme with something for most, the only things they arn't reissuing are the old railway stuff and some of that would be nice to see for nostalgia as long as it sold.

AS Lenny says it's nice to see the clear plastic stands back

Airfix sold their railway range to Dapol in the 1980s.  They don't have it to rerelease!

i think you can still get some of them from Dapol...they had the moulds sometime in the past...think they were part of Hornby at some point too

At last! I can finally own an Angel interceptor.

You can get pretty much all of them from Dapol, and they seem to have lit a fire under their reps too, because they're now appearing in model shops (plastic bags with purple headers hanging up on hooks).

They carried Indian colours and did them proud too, and when you consider that they've got a new Sabre out.... :wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

A good few years ago, on another forum, somebody posted a thread along the lines of "what weapon would you want to use and in what war?". A Pakistani guy called Khan posted that he wanted a Sabre in order to defend his homeland against the Indians in 1965, so I asked jokingly if I could have an Ajeet so I could to shoot Khan's Sabre down  :wacko:. Instant sense-of-humour failure and flame war: turned out Khan's dad was a Pakistani Air Force General and the only reason he hadn't joined up was because he failed the eye test.....oops.... :rolleyes:

Glad to see their are doing the 1/350th Daring, pity its earmarked for 2012, but at least by then it should have the markings for all six ships.

The merlin, land rovers and modern British troops in 48th are a nice touch to follow on from the Lynx AH-7. Would have liked the landies in 72/76th but should go down well with the 48th builders and would look equalliy as good alongside the Revell/Italeri Chinook or the Hase Seaking AEW to cover all the British Helicopters in Helmand.
