The Airfix range has just been launched.

Airfix Range Launch 2026 - New Airfix Model Kit Announcements

Believe it or not, I made a note of these predictions last night but didn’t post them.


1/72
Chinook HC2
Ju-52
Halifax
Wessex HC2 rebox
Shackleton rebox
Canberra


1/48
Sea King HAR3
Phantom FG1
Lysander SOE version
Jaguar reboxing


1/35
Saladin or Saracen
 
I remember building a lot of these when I was about 12. That's 60 years ago! I wonder what 60 year-old moulds are going to be like? And are they still using that ^&%$$**($£ polythene for their figures?
 
Only things that appeal to me is the saracen and stolly........ I bet saladin will be next year which would be very nice

Ive been wanting a skyvan for memories sake for a long time but they have done away with the military scheme which the one i wanted to do
 
Seems like a good selection to keep most happy.

I like the look of the Special Ops Lysander and a British used Phantom interests me (I’ll have to start saving my pennies 😅).

I image the 1/72 Canberra and Ju-52 and the various multi-packs will sell well.

I dare say we may see one or two surprise releases later in the year.

Geoff.
 
I'm sooo gonna pick up the Lightning.. wanted a 1/48 one for years.

I also wonder if they'll release the Atlas crane for the stalwart as a seperate part for those of us that have already purchased the original release.
 
I was happy to see the Canberra in 72nd as its always been one of my favourites since i had an old Airfix one when i was 9 in 1978.Lets hope the Phantom is a world beater and nice to see a new one in 48th.Im sure Hannants will be happy as they have plenty of decal sets for 43 and 111 squadrons to keep modellers amused.Seaking is a great interest but i just havent space to have many 48ths.

The jag is a t2 t4 trainer- twin stick. so not just a re-box.
The Phantom will do well even at the price. even I could be tempted... lol
The Special release Lightning with a special coin. (wow) 500 only. good luck with that, try e bay a week later.
Might have a look at the Lysander never built one.

Yes indeedy Rick.I was certain that some 3D guys would have brought out a set to convert to the Bagger Aew mark2/A or Asac.The hasegawa one was very basic and unopened side door, I remember when the Hobbyzone shops closed they were offering the kits at 19.99 to get rid of stock.I saw a pile at Ipswich store but didnt but any.They were going for silly money on e.bay lately
 
A haul of 1/72 early Canberra will be welcomed into my stash for raspberry ripplification
All those after market resin lumps and bumps I've acquired over the years might finally achieve their intended purpose!
