Airfix 2017

I'm not sure it's that easy. I think it was Airfix themselves that said you can't simply go up a scale from '72 to '48. The reason was something like there was a lot of detail not included in a '72 model, but could, and should, be present in a '48 scale model.

But it is still a lot easier to add detail in a CAD plan than the old way of drawing up and etching the tools. Add the detail in the CAD files, send it to the CAD mill and press go! Sounds to easy.....Hmmm

Maybe it is that easy. IS THERE A COMPUTER PERSON IN THE HOUSE???

All I know is that when I did 3D models on the computer, I did them 1:1 scale and the file could then be sent to production at any scale....And before you ask; no I dont have a 3D printer. Otherwise I would be churning figures/armour out and earning a fortune....

I hope they up size that Phantom! Agree that the Walrus looks sweet.
Probably another thread but Revell have some interesting new tool kits coming as well. 1/32 aircraft.
