4 parts so not exactly rocket science to assemble either,

Various dates quoted on Britmodeller for the arrival of the 1/72 Spitfire F22 - 21 May I think is cited as the most accurate guesstimate.  Anyone got any insider knowledge on availability?  Will they be on sale at the Hendon Show, I wonder?

Well there are adverts for it in the May magazines and that normally means the kit is available 3/4 weeks latter

What happened to the Scooter? I thought it had been bumped up to before the Spit?

Just spotted a new boxing of the recent P-40 - RAF North Africa as a "Tomahawk IIb" in a starter set.

A Skylon or LAPCAT kit would be fantastic.

Airfix told me hopefully late May a few weeks back, as I'm gearing up to release my A-4B and C weapons/conv sets for then. I had a couple of test shots and they are very neat.

Stash a few away for me Colin!  I'm invading Telford this year and can collect then!  Please!

Do you know if people in Airfix plan to release full Spitfire family: Spitfires, Seafires, Spiteful, Seafang, ...?

[The Wooksta!]

I doubt they'd do the Spiteful but then, they couldn't do worse that Trumpeter.  They have stated that they'd like to do all the Spitfires, but I doubt that they'll all be in  the same scale...

[ysi_maniac]

Trumpeter? 1/24? No, please! I meant 1/72.

If not Spiteful, at least one with laminar flow wing, like Seafang. Then we could combine pieces from here and there.

[The Wooksta!]

Except you can't.  Other than the tail surfaces, wheels and prop, there's no commonality between Spitfire and Spiteful.  Completely different airframes.  Seafang back to Spiteful?  Easy.  Fill in the wing fold and rebuild the lower fin section to fair it into the fuselage.

And I meant Trumpeter's 48 Spiteful.  What an utter disappointment that is... (rest of diatribe deleted on legal advice)

Well the Airfix June  Mag is out and they have a build of the new Spitfire 22 by Tony O'Toole and it looks very, very nice  Plus there's an article on it's use by the RAuxAF. Another good article and build on the Mulberry harbours in same issue

[The Wooksta!]

I knew he had one but was sworn to secrecy.  Apparently, he's set the cat amongst the pigeons as the 607 Sqn decals are wrong...

Eh, what scale is it in? Even in 1/700 it'd be GINORMOUS! 

[pyro-manic]

Just get a breezeblock and stick it on a base.

Just looked at he A4 online - its got 75 parts with Argentine and USN decals if the box shown is acurate.

I remember the articles on building a Mulberry Harbour from the old Airfix Magazine when it was in the small format
