Sailorman Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Lovely Mauretania Ratch ........I've already built her as a liner ..... Once TItanic is ready I'll consider Brittanic as a hospital ship and Olympic in dazzle camo.This kit really goes together well and makes for a lovely build. I wish Airfix would produce a few more ...... /media/tinymce_upload/fa5d9b87c7202d62ab507beb44243fe9.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailorman Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Is that the Academy 1/600 Titanic, Patrick? Nice 😎No. The pic was of the Airfix Mauretania. I'm building the Academy 1/600 Titanic at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jopres57 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 No Science Fiction as yet ......These aren't Airfix. I nevery managed to find the Airfix kit of the XL-5 and I'm not sure whether Airfix ever made a kit of Stingray./media/tinymce_upload/0f69fcbc2ab6650b7ed85ad20d450e14.jpg /media/tinymce_upload/25e708adb45930fd306f1f58d2f0bfd8.JPGThese two are very impressive Patrick, they certainly take me back. I just wondered who makes them and what scale/size they are? I would really like to see Airfix produce some more Gerry Anderson themed kits, either 1/72 space/aircraft or 1/35 vehicles. It's not likely but who knows if the old series' are released again. Speaking of Gerry Anderson kits, lets not forget this one:/media/tinymce_upload/84513e1bae4fe393e32c1445a09c916e.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWR-Gordon-4 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Cool. 😎 Does the kit come with two in the box, or you bought two kits, with one aeroplane in each kit? GNR-Gordon-4 (AF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 You only get one in a box. I had one in a blister pack and got another in the Limited Edition tin issued just before they went into receivership in 2006. I still have the tin but built the S6B & Spitfire.
