Brymon Airlines would make a lot of sense for a 'dyne scheme, on the Heathrow-Gatwick Shuttle and other internal UK flights.

Rotodynes would suit the Brymon Penzance-Scilly Isles run,  Loganair to any or all of the Scottish Islands, Aurigny to the Channel Isles  or even an RAF 'dyne shuttling between MU sites.

I  think we need a new issue of the Rotodyne model.  Perhaps Airfix could oblige?      I did one several years ago as an RAN COD aircraft, overall deep blue with white fuselage top which is how we used to paint such aircraft in the mid-1960s.  It had a telescoping rotor mast and a beavertail...   :thumbsup:

Based on the wording and image I'm wondering if we'll get a new aircraft carrier kit next year?

That pic looks like the 1970s era 'Ark' to me.

And they never did that one before, did they?

Scimitar, Sea Vixen, Seahawk or Attacker.  Any would do me, but Scimitar would please an awful lot of people.

It was a 1940's Ark they did previously. Mind though that they did a 60's Victorious although having had a look at the artwork of the ships that Airfix have done I can't match the picture to anything, that's not to say that I an right.

I trawled the net looking at pics of the R09 Ark, trying to link the Airfic pic to one, but failed.

The ship had so many refits and re-builds that it could have been taken at any time. It's not the very last configuration as there's no strop catcher on the end of the cat.

If the pic didn't have 2022 plastered across the front of it life would be much easier

HMS Queen Elizabeth/HMS Prince of Wales carrier theme?

More realistically (and the SHAR FRS1 has already been repopped) a Falklands War 40th anniversary collection.
