That's particularly irritating to those of us who have just forked out our Club membership at the old, more expensive rate.  :banghead:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Think I might join the Airfix Club this year: the membership price has come down, there's a raft of new kits that I want and I've got shed loads of flying hours tokens.....

It might be handy if they advertised what they planned to release as Club specials too, in addition to the joining kits, although with the downfall of Model Alliance i don't know if these kits are still viable as MA did the decals for them thats why they were delayed last year and wound Kit up over his technocolour Tucanno.

Not all that keen on the Soviet WW2 lend lease fighters but could be tempted be some special boxings as long as its not an excuse to sell surplus defunct stock.

Although it's not my scale, I like what they're doing with the 1/48th modern British stuff. Some other suggestions:

105mm Light Gun + Crew
FV432 Bulldog

Royal Marines:
BvS 10 Viking ATAV
Warthog ATAV (ST Kinetics Bronco - Viking clone with heavier armour)
Griffon Hovercraft
LCVP Landing Craft

Does the 'new' Stratos TSR2 have TWO under-slung missiles in the kit?

The newsletter shows drawings of it and they look quite different, the newer version being longer and with a larger diameter 'warhead'.
