lauriep Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 How about a Spitfire mk IX XIV or mk22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew_mcallister Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Got to be for me a couple of WW2 icons to go with the brilliant new tools from the same era that have been released recently:-A 1/72 B29 Superfortress, how good would this look on the shelf with the same scale B17 from last year, with a C47 Skytrain in the middle................ &A 1/48 Mitsubishi Zero, which would make a fantastic "Dogfight Doubles" partner for either of the two American reecent releases,the P51 Mustang or P40 Warhawk.................Or one from cold war era:- (which has been mentioned by other posters)A 1/72 Blackburn Buccaneer, would make a great pairing as an Ark Royal display with the superb RN Phantom Airfix gave us recently.

Jc_Holman Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 For me, here are a few things I would love to see Airfix release:-New Tool 1/721) Handley Page Hampden2) Bristol Beaufort3) Westland Lysander4) RAF ground equipment kit with Matador Tanker, Austin K2 Ambulance, Cole Crane, Etc. [Please no 1/76 posing as 1/72 ] -Add ons in a few 1/72 new tool kits to create new kits1) Swordfish Mk. II and III [Adding new bottom wings and ASW equipment/weaponry like rockets, radar, depth charges, and FIDO.2) Gloster Sea Gladiator [Add a conversion sprew for the the dingy]3) Hurricane Mk. I Mid/Late [Add the metal wing in place of the fabric wing]4) Bristol Beaufighter Mk. IF [straight Tail Planes, Radar, Etc] In the end though, thanks for all of the fantastic kits you have been providing us. The efforts you all are making to create high quality, well researched kits is appreciated. Keep up the good work!

Heather Kavanagh Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I am not certain the RAF used Austin K2 ambulances. They were mainly Army issue, as far as I can find, so I'd like to put in a vote for the Albion AM463 ambulance instead! 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather Kavanagh Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Either way, more 1/72 RAF ground equipment would be appreciated. Agreed. I wasn't trying to score points, by the way. RAF mechanical transport of the 1930s and 1940s is a particular interest to me, as I like to try and get authentic vehicles to use as "set dressing" on small dioramas and for photography of my aircraft models. I understand the RAF adopted the Army K2 ambulance after D-Day in 1944 when it was found their standard Fordson and Albion heavy ambulances were simply too much for the Normandy lanes. As the type was long-lived in military service it makes sense it appears in various museums and collections now. Incidentally, this is the Albion ambulance I'd love to see. I can't fathom why Airfix hasn't reproduced the 3-point refueller in 1/72nd, either! For smaller airfields, it might be possible to scratch build an ambulance back on to the Standard Tilly in the Bomber Resupply set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord.Barclay.the.III Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I would like to see a return to some sci-fi but i understand some of the older kits are under licence to other companys like space 1999 is now MPC there must be others or even something new for us that don't want to do WWII kits all the time and get maybe some younger blood involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigjonboy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Well an Alvis Stalwart Would be great. There seems to be very little 1970 BOAR equipment available.maybe with options either a UBRE refuelling kit or a HI AB crane.no other model company does a Stalwart.

michael_wanstall Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 I've built Airfix 1/350 scale Type 45 destroyer, HMS Illustrious aircraft carrier and HMS Trafalgar submarine. I've also built WW1 (Dreadnought) & WW2 (Hood & Belfast) 1/350 scale battleships (other manufacurer) and have a 1/350 scale WW2 Aircraft Carrier (Ark Royal) yet to build (other manufacturer). The only things I can't find to complete the display are WW1 & WW2 1/350 scale British Navy submarines. Plenty of German & Japanese Navy models are available from a number of different manufacturers, but NO British 1/350 scale submarines. Very slim chance of this happening, but there's always hope that Airfix might consider filling this neglected space in the model market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Graham1707820255 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 The RAF fast jet subjects in the Airfix back catalogue like the Typhoon, Tornado, Jaguar and Buccaneer all need bringing up to date so it would be nice to have Airfix look at these subjects.Either 1/72 or 1/48 - possibly both? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
