Don_S Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I've been away from modeling for quite a few years but recently acquired an Airfix Vought F4U-1D Corsair in 1/72 scale and a Tamiya 88mm Flak gun in 1/35 scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratch Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 I hope you're not disappointed but the Afrika Korps, 88mm & 25pdr are all 1/76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDtheassembler Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I hope you're not disappointed but the Afrika Korps, 88mm & 25pdr are all 1/76It's kind of disappointing that they're not 1/72 like the rest of the models I've got. However, 1:76 is close enough, I think 😀.It's kind of strange how they are 1:76, but many models are 1:72. You'd think they 'd scale them up...would make them easier to paint, as well.

Ratch Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Let's not go there, there have been many discussions about why Airfix chose 1/76 for tanks and 1/72 for aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toboldlygo Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Oopsy, another kit for the stash... /media/tinymce_upload/d05f26ccec97c07f56d8be802f5f30e8.jpg ... I've been persuaded to take part in a build along! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom4ever Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 My latest acquisitions are :DH TIGER MOTH with RAAF decalsMDD F4 PHANTOM × 2 (have 3 to build)BRISTOL BEAUFIGHTERWould love to see the old Bentley Blower released again with a clean up of the moulds and maybe some photoetch included. Some more of the car kits of the past if no new ones forthcoming.Some more of the sailing ships like HMS Victory would be great as well.I've got a stack of Airfix kits both old and new. I'm 58 years old me have been building Airfix kits since about age 7. Always been one of my favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 "Would love to see the old Bentley Blower released again"Why!? It's only advantage over a 1/24 scale kit or a 1/43 diecast is "being 1/32 scale". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Maybe he meant the 1/12 one that was last issued 3 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbow Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I have just bought a 1915 Stutz Bearcat of the ClasicCars collection, 1/25 scale. I was thinking how nice it would be if Airfix bought out an upto date issue of the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronbow Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 "Would love to see the old Bentley Blower released again"So would I but I would like to also see updated motorrised kits like the 1/12 bently and the museum sets IE the Stevensons Rocket an the Padel Steamer Engine.

John Symmons Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Hi Heather. Oh dear. /media/tinymce_upload/77c80a06028829e6daf8c66636fa908f.jpg You know, I think I may have to set up a blog somewhere to document my miniature 1940 air warfare museum. Airfix boxes in my stash are now outnumbered by oddballs like this! Last year you posted you'd aquired this old Ex Heller kit. Whilest looking for something else I came across this.https://adamrehorn.wordpress.com/model-kits/out-of-box-reviews/heller-1-72-amiot-143-oob/ A Very interesting read and thought of you with this old Amiot 143, and thought you'd be interested.

Basher1960 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 My latest which was a christmas present from my partner was the 1/24 scale Mosquito.A very large kit and going to put a wider shelf up once its finished might change the colour scheme with some aftermarket decals and have already added seatbelts.I would of thought seatbelts would come with the kit as its not cheap but thats only a small complaint other than that a excellent kit going to keep me busy for a while.

Brendon Ablitt Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Ah casting aside the gentlemans scale ,thought I'd indulge in the newly tooled 1/48 Blenheim and Walrus kits.Started the Blenheim,so far very nice indeed.Keep up the good people !!!

Hispano barrels are less worthwhile because you need the front doors on the bomb bay open before they are really visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havent a Clue1707821762 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Having been laid up for over two years due to an automobile accident and haven’t modeled since I was a child, these Quickbuild kits have been a brilliant way to get back into the hobby. And while I am a car enthusiast, when it comes to model kits I’m more of a WW2 plane enthusiast. Looking forward to the American Mustang to go with the Spitfire and Messerschmitt. I plan to get back into the proper modeling as my motor skills mend. I love the Airfix line of airplane models. Keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenneth ONeill Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Just received the new Revell PT-109, which actually is 1/72, and a lot bigger than the Airfix Vosper series III MTB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Symmons Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Hi Have't-a-Clue.Firstly welcome to the forum and sorry to hear about your accident but glad to hear you'r on the road to recovery. Nice to hear that the Airfix Quick Builds have been useful to your recovery and helping with your motor skills, maybe it's something occupational therapists could follow. Any way looking forward to your continuing recovery and hearing about your adventures in the world of Airfix modelling.
