[Wishlists - 2020]

My wishlist is for a metal wing hurricane in 1/72, A  hawker hunter in 1/72 scale.  I also want some UK armor in 1/35 scale .  How about a centurion in 1/35 new mould and designed by airfix, not by academy.  I also want to get more airfix kits at hobby lobby. It would really help boost sales in the USA.  

[Airfix New Tool 1/72 Buccaneer S.2C A06021 Build Review]

first, let me say thank you for the build.  I have three of the older airfix kits and 2 matchbox and   1 frog kit of the buc.  As I plan on doing a retrospective build of all three kits, i take great interest in how the new kit builds. Wondering if one with the folded wings would be harder than the other options.

let's see lots of old stuff and new too. Spitfire 1/72 scale mk1a kit from Hobby lobby.  I love the 1/72 scale spitfire kit.  

[IS AIRFIX A GLOBAL BRAND?]

I live in a very rural area of western Kansas and even here airfix is available. i go to my local hobby lobby and presto. I have at least 12 airfix kits I can buy.  I can buy anything else online  via airfix or amazon or ebay.  So even the most remote location is airfix territory.  When it comes to the greatest and latest uber kits being built by the " superstars " of modeling, they have literally no impact on my building. If I want to build a kit of a matchbox, frog or airfix kit, I am going to build that kit.  Yes it is a global brand.  If it si sold in the most remote areas of North America, then yes it is a global brand.

[Where should Airfix Go Next?]

The first thing that airfix should do is to make a 1/72 hurricane metal wing kit. Same goes for 1/48 scale. Next thing is a new mould of the B 17G in 1/72.
