        Me too Peter. Hopefully Airfix have done the same with a HAR3/3A as well.

            As ridiculous as it sounds, I pretty much want one of everything Airfix is releasing at the moment, their kits are now that good. Previously I'd have had zero interest in a Swift or a Do 17, but now can't wait to get my hands on them. The only exception is the 1/24 Tiffie, and that's only down to practicalities; too big to display, and way too expensive to ship over here.

              I've built the 1/72 Typhoon, Zero, Lightning and A4 from Airfix and all have been superb. I also have the F86, Lancaster, Hawk and Me 109 as well as the Warrior and they just look like they are going to be excellent to build too. The reviews I have seen of the new Dakota, Do 17 and Blenheims are enough to make your mouth water. Sometimes I wonder if I should bother with any other kit maker.

                He111, Sea King and BP Defiant all in 1/72 using their new Light Radar system. About time we had a decent 72 Defiant.

                        Yes, but you did say "I want a new tool anything in 1/48".

                          Like the fact they are retooling the Sea king be even better if they did a 1/48 one.

                              Maybe they will, makes sense to start small with the new technology.
