discussion redbox airfix 1/72 Mozzy?

[Guest]

I saw the "new" redboxing Mozzy in the shops this week but can't cind any reviews on it online. On the side of the bow the CAD drawings look cool, BUT airfix has the history of just putting old models in new boxes sometimes :-(

Anyone know if this is a real new tool model???

I know they are re- releasing their old 1/48 Mosquito as a PRXVI.Haven't heard of a 1/72 kit though.

I heard from the owner of the hobby shop I use mention the 1/48 mozzy but no mention of the 1/72 he also got his latest catalogue out to show me , there was a 1/72 in there but it didn't have the 'new' sticker in the corner so I would imagine it's just an old kit in a new box

That's definately the old kit.I built it in the 1990's as the mkXVIII 'Tsetse' with the 6 pounder gun.I remember it as one of Airfix's better kits.Hasegawa do the mk18 in 1/72 with a brass gun.But you could get 4 Airfix for the price of one Hasegawa.But I'm digressing here.You probably don't want to do that version.
