60 years on and the Curse of the Swift continues.  

Does make you think

Absolutely Kit  Once you are retired you only need remember what day it is if you have something specific to do on it

Sounds like my LHS can get Airfix in, but he has to order direct from the UK and the costs would be higher ! Crazy.

The Works have got a load of Airfix starter sets in. The headline prices arn't particularly impressive, but you can get upto 15% off those by using the promo code SAVE15 plus free postage if you spend over £10:

3 different hobby shops in three different CDN cities....read my lips "No new Airfix " ! What a shame.

Defiant in 1/48 sounds interesting  Could be tempted

[Thorvic]

Yeap another nice article, interesting subject on scaling up/down kits and I'm sure the Defiant will be as popular in 1/48th especially with the Battle of Britain tie in to go with the early Spitfire and the Hurricane.

The Shackleton MR2 schemes look interesting, although I suspect we'll have to await on the 2016 Catalogue for official news of the AEW2 boxing.

One point of note however, with the WWI kits announced last month and the 48th Defiant, does this mean the late December new release schedule for the new years range will be less relevant with news from the workbench doing an exclusive each month, or have the Airfix design team now reached a capacity and skill level to research and develop more than the annual expectations allowing for more new kits to be produced over each year ?

[Captain Canada]

Gorgeous...the pair. I could look at those 2D CAD views all day...so realistic, and that whole 'blank canvas' thing.

[Hobbes]

Those Workbench articles are an excellent idea.

YAY! 1/48 Defiant. Lovely-jubbly .

WOT! No 1/48 Shackleton . Denied .
