I'm liking the 262, looks like it's a must for me.

[Rbaker]

Looking forward to what else they will be releasing next year

Nothing there for me.....would have been nice if the 262 was in 1/48 or even bigger

The Walrus is an interesting subject in 1/48... a bit different.  Another 1/48 Mustang!!!  mmmmm


I am looking forward to finding out what the next 1/24 model will be from them.

They have said that they have an exclusive announcement for the show at Telford....

A just lovely ugly aircraft. Known in flying circles as the Shagbat. Built it in 1/72 and a great build so much going on. If they are producing a 1/48 I will be in there.


22 rigging lines ----  what joy.


Ugly as is the Spitfire pretty. Bizarre that Mitchell designed both and Matt Summers flew as test pilot.

Good choice by Airfix. Hopefully it will be much cheaper than the upcoming Meng 1/48 Mustang.

Nice.

LOL you beat me to it. I was just finding the link to post the news. Looks like Airfix are going all out in 2017.....

Does anyone want to take a guess at the "iconic" aircraft they are announcing at Telford?

[yak face]

Well judging by their previous recent releases a british aircraft would seem likely , however the 'iconic'  bit  narrows it down somewhat. Its about time someone did a Supermarine Scimitar in 1/48  but iconic? , maybe not well known enough. I'd say a 1/48 Hunter could be a good candidate as it fits the iconic and British part and is not very well represented in this scale. The other one im thinking is a Vampire/  Venom/Sea Venom in 1/48.  cheers tony
