72nd scale Kit.
I have a pair of them sitting less than 4 feet away from me as I type ;D

Is the F8 a reboxing?

Do they ever end up releasing these "Airfix Club Specials" to the general public like myself?

Why is the European Airfix Club download version subscription cheaper than the "rest of the world" one?   :banghead:

1) Yes, I assume, of the original MPM/Xtrakit F8 that has already been boxed as an Airfix kit.
2) The only one I've seen was the 1/48 Spit XVI that was sold in at least the Holborn branch of Modelzone.
3) Dunno.

Because even when you get the digital version of the membership, they still send you the kit and basic membership stuff, so the shipping still counts.

Brillo! Thanks for that, I can see I'll be re-joining the Airfix Club this year.  ;D

Are the Hurricane IID guns from the 3D kits set ?

One is the El Alamein classic dogfight boxing, a P-40B Warhawk and a Bf 109E-4B with exclusive markings, and is only available from Modelzone stores.


Yup that's an interesting boxing as the anniversary is in the news at this moment. MZ have done a number of these exclusive boxing's.

Thanks Martin. Thought they would be. Got 2 sets and they are nice as are all the 3D sets

Can we clarify these Airfix Club issues please?

Are the two Meteors AND the two Hurricane IIDs going to be available to Club Members next year? It doesn't say anything about that on their web site, that still mentions the two Big Scale Me-109Es.

The 1/48th Me109's in the Japan and RAF markings are the 2012 club kits, the Meteor with the 2 decal options from the coronation and the El-alamein Hurrican with the 3d cannons and 2 decal options are special editions only available to club members this year, they are limited edition like the Puccara set. Next year they will have different kits selections, probably tied to some anniversary.

These are the kits that are intended to entice you to remain Airkix Club members but have only really taken off in the last year or two and that may struggle now as the decals were done by Model Alliance.

Having re-joined the Airfix Club and got the 1/48 Me-109 kit (dunno WHAT I'm going to do with that.... :banghead:) and all the other stuff, just HOW do I go about buying the RAuxAF Meteor and Hurricane IId kits please?

I can't find them anywhere on the Airfix web site page, or at least if they're there the site is SO slow that I don't have enough time to crawl all over it. Any hints or links will be very welcome.

Hands up those who spotted that the Airfix Sunderland has been re-released. Wonderland Models seemed to be the only ones selling it at SMW, but I may be wrong.
Only one marking option though - which is disappointing.
Wish there was an MR.5 conversion out there.

Maybe this?

That's the place, thanks very much.   :thumbsup: :bow:

Job done and kits and ordered, but why couldn't I find that place on their site?
