Airfix 2015 range announcement

[Ian M]

Which usually means it's the old kit with a new sprue or decals or both What ever it is it's going to be bought

Its not as if its that old... Its a great kit with loads of detail and I am sure the new release will be just as good.

I'm curious to see what's in the Battle of Waterloo Gift Set! http://www.airfix.com/catalog/product/view/id/8418/category/1209/

If you zoom in on the picture you can read off the box, (1 Box each of Highland Infantry, French Cavalry (Cuirassiers), French Artillery (Foot) British Cavalry (Hussars), French Infantry, British Infantry, British Artillery (Horse) French Imperial Guard, Prussian Infantry and La Haye Sainte Farmhouse.) It looks like the box I had as a kid nearly 40 years ago. My guess is they have relaunched it for the 200th anniversary of the Battle.

There's an old review on good old YouTube, this one's 3 years old:

It's also an FBVI, but has 5 options for painting/decals which looks pretty cool

Oh yeah Ian I agree , I didn't mean my post to sound so negative

[Alan 45]

But, the most expensive 1/24 is a New Tool, the next largest (by volume) is probably the Sea Harrier, which is £80. I know this is a larger plane (by volume), but that's quite a bit more expensive if it wasn't a New Tool kit...

All depends on the added extra bits and bobs and how much more they've put into it , I don't know how new the sea harrier is or what it's like so I can't comment on that

not much interests me im afraid............whitley would be nice but not at that price

the 1/48 vehicles would be better in in 1/35 but its to be expected since they are pushing that scale

[Dave W]

The 1/48 Hurricane is on my list.It should be at least as good as the Italeri kit and at around £13 cheaper will be great value for money.

I think it will be better dave if the 1/72 is anything to go by and I've just notices the new tool 1/72 stuka now that's on my list as well

The RRP compares quite well with their Lancaster in my opinion, the Shackleton is more eye watering at £39.99 I think......I'll still get myself one though!

A tail dragging Shackleton - that's another £40.00 Mr Airfix will help me get rid of.

im just allergic to paying full price for kits lol..........im happy to wait a year or so for them become cheaper on ebay

Oh no, prepare the wallet for melting. Check out the wing folding on that Kate in 1/72. Would make a welcome addition to the old Hasegawa version. And a new tool Ju87B Stuka, woohoo!

Careful mind, they could be very popular and sell out

The blurb mentions phase I, II and III versions, does this mean an AEW version too?

[Dave W]

The 1/24 Mosquito re-release is very tempting as well.Even at £139 I think it's worth it.Wish I'd got one when Modelzone were selling them off for £50 a while back!.
