Airfix

[PR19_Kit]

Has anyone else noticed the new EE Lightning F6 artwork on the box, no tailpalnes. 

Apparently it's been rectified now

That'll mean all the boxes with out are now collectors items. ;-)

That'll be mine then. 

Thinking about this last night, it might be fun to build it just like it is on the box, minus tailplanes, and see what the Joe Publics make of it. 

'Yes mate, it must be right, I built it JUST like it is on the box lid' 

[deathjester]

Hmm, the 'Build it like the boxart GB'...try THAT with a Starfix kit...

[PR19_Kit]

There's NOTHING RW about a Starfix kit!  

And you probably couldn't build a Starfix kit to look like its box art anyway...

[Captain Canada]

I'm having trouble finding any 'net discussion about the problems with importing them to NA. Anybody seen anything on the other forums they may peruse ?

[kitnut617]

I can't figure out why you're having problems getting the new Airfix kits Todd, there's two stores I frequent, one in Calgary and one in Red Deer, that always have most of the latest stuff on the shelves --

[Captain Canada]

Maybe they used to ! Or it could just be an Ontario problem.

Where are Airfix getting all these kits from?
Are they clearing out a warehouse or two to save some money long term?

Is it just over-production or lack of sales?

Moving to a new larger facility so they are clearing down stocks of less popular items or ones scheduled to go oop
