Airfix

[Mossie]

There's also a survey.  Of most interest to us is question 7:

7. Are there any products that you would like to see Airfix produce?

I've stuck down new tool Vulcan, Victor and Defiant, more Vampire (and Venom) variants, re-release of the Old Bill Bus for the Great War Centenary.  I can but hope!

Vampire and Venom variants would be nice. I asked for 144th scale V-bombers and a new 72nd scale Sea King. I know the Revell and Fuji ones are nice, but I like the 3 for the price of 1 deal.....

Only want three things from Airfix next year:

Spitfire V - with alternate canopies and both B and C wing.  Preferably interchangeable with their current I/IIa kit.

Spitfire XIV highback, with an alternate sprue for the lowback.

New tool Blenheim.  Starting with the mk V.

With the addition of a Whirlwind, I couldn't fault your list .

AND a Beaufort. Sick of waiting for the mythical Special Hobby release. Don't they have one at Hendon?

A new Bristol F.2B in 1/72.  Not a biplane fan but would build a brand new Brisfit if one came out.

Then the old ones would come tumbling down in price, I'd get one, chop it up and whif it.  Like the Cylons I have a plan!

It would be nice to see some more obscure aircraft coming out. A Rogozarski IK3, Breda 65 or 88 or Avia 135, Westland Dragonfly etc. I know these are available for a small fortune and I realise many wouldn't be sold. But I think the numerous versions of the same aircraft available tend to deaden the hobby. Something different that doesn't cost an arm and a leg would be welcome
Just an opinion.

The Special Hobby 1/72 Beauforts were released years ago, ~2005-2007, the 1/48
kit remains as vapourware.

Ooops, didn't realise that

[NARSES2]

On the poll and all in 1/72 I went for

Hawker Tempest
Bristol Beaufighter
Westland Whirlwind (not the helicopter)
Bristol Blenheim Mk IV

[The Wooksta!]

Hannants may have sold out of the SH Beaufort but I'll bet that MPM themselves have a considerable stock remaining.

Rumours over on Britmodeller, with photos to back up , are for a 1/48 Swift and Gnat trainer and a new 1/72 Blenheim I , to come from Airfix next year.
