The 1/32 car range will start with an Allegro complete with detachable front road wheel and wishbone assembly.

Oh, I saw what you did there...

Will further releases include a Zephyr Mk III with egg-cup shaped drivers' seat?

And a set of furry dice too.

With the release of the Douglas DC-8 Mach2  create the Convair 880/990 in 1/72 scale  along with their version of the BAe 146 in various decals both military and civilian.

......create the Convair 880/990 in 1/72 scale.....

I wish!

Airfix release their "Secret Fliers" series, with the first aircraft being a U-2, a Blackbird, a Meteor PR19 and a Canberra PR9.   JMNs complain that the  PR19 has the wrong engines and is dimensionally inaccurate compared with the actual aircraft.

...... 'cos they've been to Cosford and measured it I suppose, little realising that the one at Cosford is a PR19b and the kit is a PR19a. 

Should have read the backstory.

Not to fear, Colin at Freightdog will bring out a correction kit for it!

Airfix to launch their "Series: Defence Twitter" range, with initial releases being:

1/700th Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier complete with non-existent aircraft moulded in clear plastic and a wooden stake through it's heart,

1/700th Type 32 Frigate, which consists of a plain white box with a rectangular lump of plastic inside it which you can carve into anything you can imagine,

1/72nd Boxer MRAV 8x8 APC complete with all 17 different cool turrets that the British Army are definitely never going to actually buy,

1/144th scale Boeing Wedgetail AEW aircraft boxed as 1/700th scale because apparently, three of them can be everywhere at once.

Reboxing of Trumpter's 1/700th "New Chinese Offshore Peace And Friendship Patrol Vessel" together with nine Fujimi "Modern Chinese Weapons" sprues.

I wish Airfix could get the cockpit canopy glazing for the 1/72 Sea King either a single piece or various parts that aren't fiddly that fit together.
As they produced the 1/72 Sikorsky CH-53 Super Jolly Green Giant,  the predecessor the HH-3 would be a welcomed model either the Jolly Green Giant or the Pelican.
Another model kit that they won't be releasing is the CH-53K,  when I read the headline that the Navy has purchased 9 I
thought that a bit strange why is the Royal Navy getting 9 CH-53Ks but it's the USNavy instead. So I wonder who will be producing the 1/72 kit?
Another two kits not on the Airfix release list are the Avro Lincoln and Avro Tudor. The jet powered Tudor would be a great project at a reasonable price.
I might have got the wrong end of the stick but wasn't Anigrand going to release the Blackburn Beverly in 1/72 or 1/144 scale?
Now if Airfix or Heller could release a scale model of the Austin 1300, just think of how many times they could rebadge this: Morris,  MG, Riley and Wolseley not forgetting the Nomad from down under.
There's quite a few cars of yesteryear that have disappeared from British roads, a few can be found in museums or lovingly restored. Most of which are in diecast but plastic or resin now that's a different story.
