Airfix

When I started reading the newsletter I got excited as I thought they were announcing a Type 142.
No such luck.

I viewed the story on my phone so the head-on picture looked like a Beaufort, which was amazing!

The new Phantom FG1 on the Airfix stand at SMW today

I'm more interested in the Wimpy in the background.

That's really nice

It is.  I just looked at the Airfix website and it has as much detail inside as the Shack.  But more chance to see it on this with those big windows.

they also had a built up interior on display, it realy is a thing of beauty inside .

Which will undoubtedly have serious fit issues.  See also new tool Airfix Lancaster, Blenheim, etc.

The internal geodetic structure runs all the way back to the rear turret too. 

I suggested to one of the guys on the stand that they should consider an optional clear plastic fuselage side, like LS used to do back in the 70s. He said they'd not thought of that before (!!!!) but he'd mention it. That'd work well for the Shackleton too.

Your not the only one, Narces and myself said the same thing to the guys on the stand

That's good. 

They could sell it as an aftermarket part, like the Valiant tanker/PR bits.

The photo etch boys could do sections of geodectic, that way you could build a battle damaged Wimpey while showing off the internal detail.

Need to be some fairly thick brass.

That's what I said to the "young lad" - well he looked like a lad to me

Interesting find on Britmodeller:



It would appear that the Merlin Wellington may well follow...
