That does look good Rick, looks like a Christmas wish list kit to me.

Me too. I've been contemplating adding a Wellington to the stash for a while, Airfix just made my mind up for me.

I'll let you build it first Rick. Hopefully it doesn't have any vices like the Shackleton

That's very nice and I'm really interested. but where is the new tool Vulcan I've been waiting for Mr Airfix ?

Has anyone seen the 2018 calendar with Airfix Model World yet? A Sopwith Camel and Eurofighter Typhoon feature in the artworks - a clue to a future release maybe?

Some interesting stuff for aircraft modellers, pretty barren for ships and tanks.

Mostly reboxes (new decals perhaps?) and no Avro Vulcan

I think it unlikely that a new tool Vulcan will be issued for sometime yet, not while they have various marks of Victors to knock out and exploit the investment made in that tool.
Some of the kits are new tool and others variations on recent new tool models. I quite fancy the Phantom FG2, Hawk, Victor K2 and the Sea King HAR3.

Nothing there for me. I might be interested in a new tool 1/24 scale aircraft, but none of those being released.

nowt for me

[Dave W]

1/48 Hunter and Blenheim are must haves for me.

This month's Airfix Model World has a build feature on the new Wellington, it looks to be crammed with internal detail. I need a bigger attic.
