My stash just grew again (2013)

[Nick]

I got a plastic kit.... in my Christmas cracker! Tiny little plane like a P-26 Peashooter about the size of a penny!

[PR19_Kit]

Those Lightnings must be selling like hot cakes!  

I just noticed that the clear sprue has two unused parts, like rounded off  Firestreak nose cones. I can't IMAGINE what they're for....... 

[Chris Payne]

Got a couple of new Airfix kits for Christmas.

Airfix 1/72 Harrier GR.3
Airfix 1/72 Lightning F.2A

Mrs z gave me a piece of paper with "coming soon" and this picture on it.

Woo hoo!

Plus I treated myself to A Trumpeter 1/72 Wyvern to add to my PDRV airforce.

[Thorvic]

So do you like the lightning now you can finally fondle the plastic ?

[Martin H]

Waiting patiently for the F.6 now.  Expect to see mountains of cheap second=hand Hasegawa F.6s when it comes out.

Have noticed Lightnings, Blenhiems and Dornier 17s pop up on eBay in the last few days....

The Airfix F.6 Lightning is due out about July 2014

I got ANOTHER two Airfix Lightning F2As today for my Christmas and birthday pressies, total count now four. 

My #1 daughter, who works in the model dept. of 'A major Oxford department store' said they ordered a box of 48, and had 26 pre-orders. They'd sold ALL of them by the end of the first day! I said they'd never make enough of them.

Surely a conversion to an F6 isn't THAT difficult? One could use bits from the Frog/Hasegawa/Revell kit, like the Red Tops and the tanks and Bob's your uncle.

Glad to hear that the Lightning is selling so well.....go Airfix !
