No ,
There's some good rest shots and a it's built straight out of the box.
There's a what-if 1/48 Airfix EE Lightning F.6 in USAF South Asia colour scheme, with Sparrow missiles, drop tanks and rockets.

But that's "just" a paint whiff.  It's a good start but they should have something more adventurous that shows the particular techniques required when mating parts from completely unrelated kits (possibly in different scales).

In the November edition of Airfix Model World there's an article on the 1/72 Phantom FG.1, if you are interested.

Do they whiff it?
I'd like to see AMW include a radical kitbash whiff as an advanced build feature.
Never going to happen but imagine the number of out of joint noses in the rivet counting community...

It's 100% OOB naturally.

But there is a USAF Viet Nam era BAC Lightning in the 'Reader's Model' feature, which is a breakthrough in itself!

Manufacturing in the UK.  Now there's a novelty.
Whatever will they think of next?

I know: it's almost like we can actually make things in this country if we just stop telling ourselves we can't.....

Thanks for the Walrus sprue shots Jon

Is it true that Airfix has retooled the Avro Vulcan using their scanner or is this just a rumor to generate interest?

It would make sense now that they have the other two V bombers in more modern technology, but who can tell?

Next 2018 announcement from Airfix following on from the new 1/72nd Vickers Wellington MK1C is a 1/48th Bristol Blenheim 1F and a prototype should be at SMW.

Should keep the WW2 & 48th boys happy but does nothing for me as not my scale or era, looks like cold war jet age will be the poor relation again

I feel you, Throvic.  Cold and Post-Cold War 35th scale US support services vehicles (besides 930-series 5t, HEMMTs, HMMWVs) are also the redheaded stepchildren

Exactly, when are they going to do the Scott-Furlong Predator?

I know that, and you know that, but do AIRFIX know that?

I get Airfix's news letter via email, and every time I look at it when they announce something new, it isn't!!
Shame really they don't seem to want to dip their toe in to something less same old same old
