| im guessing my last message got lost :-( im really ill at the moment so not really up to reposting, however here is the future airfix list copied from another article im writing, im hope its of use to everyone and barry i hope im not treding on your toes here:
This years Airfix Releases:
1:72nd Gloster Meteor III & VI Doodlebug - A reissue using the old moulds
1:72nd BAC/Aerospatiale Concorde - A reissue of this large scale concord, hopefully it will actually fit together this time unlike the last issue which suffer heavily from poor moulding and warped parts.
1:48th BAe Hawk 100- Another reissue with slightly different decals (S. African included) A nice scale kit of this famous trainer, it fits well but as per usal lacks cockpit detail, something thats essential in this scale, sadly there are no aftermarket parts for this that we know of!
And also.....Some NEW kits:
1:72nd Britten-Norman Islander (Spring2006)
1:72nd BAC TSR.2 (Feb2006)
1:72nd BAE Nimrod MR Mk. I, MR Mk 2/2P & R Mk I
1:72nd DeHavilland Dragon Rapide (Summer2006)
1:72nd Spitfire 70th Anniversary:S.6B, MkIa, Vc & XVIe (Spring2006)
1:48th E.E. Canberra B.2, B.20 & B(I).6 (Winter2006)
1:48th E.E. Canberra B(I).8 & B(I).2 (Winter2006)
1:48th E.E. Canberra PR.9 (Winter2006)
1:48th Martin B-57B, RB-57E & RB-57G (Winter2006)
1:48th Spitfire 70th Anniversary; MkI, IXc & F.22/4 (Summer2006)
1:48th V,S Spitfire Mk.IXc
Most of these kits are totally new with the exceptions of the spitfire and B-57 which borrow parts from across the board. It should also be noted that the Dragon Rapide is an ex-Heller kit so nothing really new here bar the new box art.
