Scale Model Shop

Airfix 2023 range announced.

Finally I don't have to dream about scratch building the Ferret. Definitely looking forward to doing a Malaysian UN Ferret in Congo.

Cheers,

AAGH!
Just when I set myself the target of not buying any new models this year Airfix have released the Great Western. i am not really a ship modeller but I am a Roy Cross fan andA0801D36-6A2B-4159-9E47-1D0462FDB08F.jpeg am fortunate enough to have bought the original artwork a couple of years ago. Be nice to mount the model below the painting.

Hmmmm,
Only thing that pricks my interest is the Buccaneer.... but after the prices of the last issues,I suspect that this new one will be even MORE than I'd be prepared to pay ;)
.... All in all,I was expecting/hoping for more, nevermind, I'll continue to search for other brands,that suit my budget/wants better :)

The new Buccaneer boxings of both scales are the same price as the current boxings.
 
There hasn’t been a need to scratchbuild Ferrets for 30+ years — Accurate Armour, Cromwell and Sovereign all had resin or resin/white metal kits of different variants. I built Sovereign’s kit some years ago.
I already know that. Price and availability was the issue and obviously at the time these resin/white metal kits were around the web was not what it is now. Besides wasn't interested in resin or after market stuff at the time too. Heard many even in the UK say it was pricey too and just imagine the postage cost on top of that.
