Airfix

I'm not getting excited about tomorrow's Airfix announcement. I'll only be surprised if  it's (a) not yet another wretched Spitfire and, (b) in 1/72.

I suspect it might be something in 1/72nd beginning with "L" but I don't want to jinx it...

Lanchester perhaps?  That would probably rule out an  Avro Mincoln then!

You did jinx it, Harold!

1/24 Spit IXc repop with resin parts to make the beer barrel-carrying ML208 (plus 2 other decal options)

Oh.

Well that explains the beer mat in their teaser: a 1/24th beer bomber. Not my scale, not my budget and it's been available for years in 1/72nd if I did want one.

Yawn.

Pathetic

[scautomoton]

Yawntastic. What will Airfix do when the generation of little boys who ran outside to watch squadrons of Spitfires fly overhead are all no longer with us?

[Beermonster58]

Pathetic, unimaginative and, totally predictable. Yet another Airfix "big" announcement where the sound of the fanfare is drowned out by the sound of fizzling damp squibs.

Well, there goes my hopes for a 1/57th scale Farley Fruitbat FBGA.4 with Chartley & Figgins 2-stage Bandicoot engines.
