Drewe Manton Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 For all it's age, it still looks a passable tooling to be honest. Another for the "sometime soon" retool list I reckon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Mock Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The original Airfix tool failed sometime in the mid to late 90s. It was a constant presence in the range since it's release and payed its way in the range. Me personally, I'd love a new one, preferably a 1C.

Drewe Manton Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 It's such an important type. Airfix still has TONS of WW2 stuff to get through in terms of retools don't they? Golden times ahead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fighter Pilot Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 With Trumpy and MPM doing one I can't see Airfix doing it any time soon.....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewe Manton Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 With Trumpy and MPM doing one I can't see Airfix doing it any time soon.....?I could, Airfix don't really care what others do and it's their core market with inherently good exposure for a well known type. MPM is so-so and the Trumpy has limited exposure to the non enthusiast market. I reckon it'd be an obvious choice in the next couple of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Stratford Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I remember this one.... mine was the infamous 'all black and glue streak' camo pattern... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david_fleming Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 I remember this one.... mine was the infamous 'all black and glue streak' camo pattern...I did that one too! Always loved the box art on that kit. As for a new one, both MPM and Trumpeter have serious issues with their depection of geodetic frame covered in fabric - it's like a waffle! Personally, I'd like to see an early mk I with the limited range gun mounts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 I don't mind which, just give us a new one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Mock Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 With Trumpy and MPM doing one I can't see Airfix doing it any time soon.....? Airfix did polybag the MPM kit in 2007/8, as "R" for "Robert", the Loch Ness one. But I would not see the MPM or Trumpeter kits as an impediment to a (hypothetical) new Airfix one.

peebeep Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 The fact that the old management thought it worthwhile selling another manufacturer's tooling in an Airfix box suggests it's a steady seller and worthy of a new tool. I've been saving one of the old kits for a possible V/VI conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 I still have two or three old Airfix boxings in my stash - and they will get built too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
