Airfix

[Mossie]

Very happy to see the Bucc.  I guess there will be an S.2B at some stage   Concorde prototype is an interesting one, I can't remember that one being offered for a long time.  Might pickup a Jetstream, Heron and Bulldog.

There's a whole load of 1/35 armour, ex Academy?

Without being able to see any of the sprues, so only based on the kits available, it certainly looks like it.

I wonder if they're testing the water?  It's never been Airfix's traditional scale, but they've repopped others manufacturers kits on the odd occasion.  If it pips any interest, a few unique British subjects that  others avoid might go down well?

[Gondor]

Well that me more than happy, a new 1/72 Buccaneer S2 RN boxing, so I can see me getting quite a few of those. Looking at the CGI i'm not sure if it has the folding nose cone as well as airbrakes

Someone will no doubt come out with a detail set to allow that if it doesn't

New tools:

1/72:
Buccaneer S.2 RN 
MiG-17F
<...>

Wow!  A new Bucc would've been great on its own, but a new Bucc and a new Fresco?

Some of the existing stuff, designed for the FROG, M'Box and old Airfix kits, might fit anyway.

I hope so as I've got BUCKETS of that stuff!

I know what you mean. At least that free's up the old Buccs that I have for whiff's

[Spey_Phantom]

the new tool Buccaneer will be a good alternative for the Revell/Matchbox kit i have in the stash 
i might pick up the Herron, Dominie and Jetstream aswell, the latter 2 will make for great civil conversions, the HS Dominie might be converted to an Aslan Royal Flight version (from the Area 88 anime movie).

[kitbasher]

BUCCANEER!!!
I've got one built (Matchbox + Airwaves/C Scale stuff) but a new mould I'll invest in.  A Heron too (at a sensible price). Jetstream in the stash with Aztazou conversion parts but another for whiffery is a maybe.

The MiG-17 is tempting ditto a P-61 for whiffery but a second hand one may be better value.

That P-61 is an old tool as is a lot of what they have put into the catalogue this year.

Yep, well aware, apols for not being clearer.  What I meant was a 'pre-owned' boxing might be better value than a 'new old' kit, especially for whiffery.  That said I'd rather have a 'new old' Heron for better real world decals.

[JayBee]

Had another look at the full list, and in the re-pops not mentioned are the DH/HS Dominie and the Hawker Demon.
The Demon was a rework of the older Hart kit and while it is not the best kit in town it is the only one.
Pity it is not a new tooling as the propellor is not the best. Looking more like a much later Fairey metal one rather than the wooden one it should be.
The RAF FG-1 Phantom with the "Black Mike" markings, I want for the transfer sheet alone! 

[Mossie]

I didn't mention the Dominie simply because it was released a few years back (although probably longer than I thought as it was the grey box).   The Demon I missed though, I thought it was the Fury.

[kitbasher]

Wasn't it AZ that did a 1/72 Hawker Hart family recently?

The Airfix Demon is a handy starter for kitbashing the Hart family if that's one's preferred approach.

[The Wooksta!]

Dominie was mid Naughties I think, possibly before the Hornby era.

Without seeing a complete list, I'm just "meh" about the whole thing, probably because there's no 72nd Spitfires announced.  Nor a Mosquito, come to that.

Hmmn.  May get a Heron but only IF there's new decals released for it.  The Astronauts have some use and some of the classic vehicles are possibles for a nostalgia build, but TBH, there's very, very little to tempt me into shelling out my hard earned.

[PR19_Kit]

That's a pretty ambitious list for one year I  must say. I got the same list via their email links, and every single item can be pre-ordered from there!

I'm not sure they'll get too many people doing that for some kits that won't be released until Q3 or 4.
