Wishlists 2021

[John Huddart1707820049]

It is disturbing that none of the Mosquito kits Airfix has produced are now available. There are so many  spitfire kits and Lancaster variants - yet the Mosquito was inspiring and adaptable - and we may have one flying in the UK - will Airfix rise to that occasion?

Hi guys. I would like to see a 1:48 Supermarine type 300. We have an abundance of Spitfire marks but nothing to celebrate where she cane from. Also a 1:48 Schneider trophy winner wouldn't go a miss. Maybe in 2021? 

[Ratch]

I have moved your post to the correct thread.

[David70]

I've always wanted an HS748 and Andover in 1/72. Any likelihood of those being released one day? They'd complement the new tool Dominie and Jetstream.

[Sky Pirate]

 1/72 New tool:

WW I

FE2b and / or d

WW II

Fairey Battle or Handley Page Hampden

De Havilland Mosquito but should include a Night Fighter

Gloster Sea Gladiator

POST WWII - Cold War

Sepecat Jaguar

DH Sea Vixen

Falklands War

Anything that has not been done before.

[Happykat]

O.K. , If we're makiing a wishlist for 2021, I want a 1/72 scale O-1 birddog and F80 shooting star.

[dave_gambling]

I have been waiting patiently for Airfix to produce a 1/48 scale Vickers Supermarine Scimitar ever since they produced the fantastic  Sea Vixen and the Javelin, my main building theme is post war RAF & Naval aircraft, OK they have recently produced a Hunter, which I am sure is very good, but easily available in this scale elsewhere, as with the Sabre....I cannot understand why they are producing another Vulcan, when with a little work the present one is fine.......and please, please... no more Spitfires !!!

Wish list for 2021 is to have the pre orders already placed for filled by airfix had a Motörhead's heinkel on order since September 2019 

[One can but try...]

A lot of these are unlikely but a Short Singapore, as many Mosquitos as possible and possibly a Hornet too, Avro Lincoln to go with the Shackleton and Lancaster, a new Corsair, Ryan Recruit, Boeing XB-15, Arado 232, Blohm & Voss 138, Dornier 335 and 635, Focke-Wulf 200, Junkers 88 and maybe a Mistel variant, Kawasaki Hien, Macchi Folgore, Messerschmitt 323 and judging by the amount I've written a new shelf, that'd keep Airfix busy.

James.

Would love to see a 1/72 Manchester, Scimitar and Albacore to fill a gap or 3

[Pretty Mediocre Modeller]

I'll second all 3 of those.

Thank you. I'll add a Venom too !!

[sticky fingers]

I would like to see some car kits in 1/43 with my own preference for 1960's and 70's British classics that complement existing die-cast models, could extend to commercials in 1/50 scale if popular. Thoughts anyone?

 

[Marqus]

One request I have, which is kinda silly considering that I could just buy them all individually... but I would love a big box with all 10 Red Arrows. 1:72 scale please. 

Or even an option on the website similar to the new "WW2 Classics". 

[Pretty Mediocre Modeller]

Now about a 1/72 new tool Mosquito, with the engine nacelles on a separate sprue so early short nacelle PR.I can be boxed, single stage Merlin boxing and two stage Merlin boxing. Come to thing about it a separate nose could have fighter and bomber versions possible.

I would love to see a new Airfix Mosquito BIV in 1/72nd.  The old 1/48th kit is a bit old now, but still builds up well.  I have a few 1/72nd Mosquitos built and stashed, but I would certainly buy some new BIVs.

[Padefc]

some Nice zulu war figures would be nice a decent scale not 1/72 or 1/76 may be 1/35 or so probably been done already maybe a reissue?

[edward_langley]

Sorry. I'm new to the forum. I replied in the wrong box. How about 1/72 Blackburn Beverly. New Sunderland. 1/48 Chipmunk. You literally could spend all day on the wishlists.

Beverley would certainly be interesting, as would a 1/72 Argosy and Hastings. Dare we mention a Belfast !!!!

[Pretty Mediocre Modeller]

I'd buy a few if Airfix released a series of Andover's/HS 748's in 1/72, anyone else? And how about 1/72 Jaguar and Tornado (both IDS and ADV) to their latest moulding standards? If fact anything Airforce, Navy or Army that flies from the 70's or 80's in 1/72 that hasn't been done already, or not done very well before!

If you extended that to the 60's... I'm in!  1/72 Canberra B2/6 anyone?  😉

[Pete44]

Something  in 1/76th scale. I suggest a Sherman M4A3 or a Sdkfz 251D. Wargames would buy loads.

[Pete44]

In fact a better idea is to produce a set of four tanks in one box for 1/76. A set called ‘Desert Warriors’ which includes an Italian Carro Armato M14/41, a German Panzer III J with short 50mm gun. a British Crusader and an American M4A1. In 1/76th they all would be very popular with 20mm wargamers. 

I suggest 1/76th as the 1/72nd market is pretty much flooded. Revell seem to be doing really well with 1/76th a small indicated in the best seller list.

Hi All,

Being that Airfix now has (or will have) modern toolings for all 3 V-Force bombers, how about having a V-Bomber resupply Kit to go with them?

Kit could include:

V Bomber Crew Scramble

Mandator

Refueller with crew

Aircraft Tug, Driver and tow poles

Bomb trollies for Blue Steel, Blue Danube and standard dumb bombs.

How about it Airfix?

[Robert Lock]

Seems like a great idea . I've often wondered why airfix haven't made any resupply or support vehicles outside WW2 . Some for a cold war era diorama sounds great .
