Has it arrived yet? It would be good to know what is in the latest offering. Ed

"...You're gonna need a bigger box." (With apologies to Roy Scheider).

I bet that balloon would be a fair size in 1/48!

New tools 1/72 Avro Lincoln, 1/72 Avro Manchester, 1/72 H.P. Hampden, RAF V-Force ground crew figures 1/24 Defiant. Vintage Classic re-releases 1/72 B-29 Superfortress 1/72 Dauntless 1/72 Helldiver 1/72 Russian Pe.2 1/144 Boeing 747 (BOAC?) 1/144 Lockheed Tristar 1/600 HMS Iron Duke 1/600 Scharnhorst

That's nice work, I would be very pleased to achieve that standard.

This thread has been very informative and I'm enjoying it, many thanks. I had never heard of the etched rigging before. I wonder if I will be brave enough to try such a task myself! Ed

I think rigging biplanes has to be one of the toughest skills to learn, so I will watch with interest! Good luck!

I noticed that the Aircraft Mystery Box has been out of stock for a while but thought it was probably due to the pre-Christmas rush. I'd be interested to hear what 3rd kit is eventually supplied to resolve this one. Ed

Picked up a Tiger and a Sherman today. Would have bought the Jeep, but none in stock. Ed

Thanks Paul. Yes, they have arrived in my local store too - about a week later than expected but they are there now. Ed

Has anyone bought the aircraft mystery box in the last month or so? Just wondering if any of the kits have changed recently. Thanks Ed

Thanks for the info. I dropped by at my local store today and it does appear that they will be online only this time. Ed

That's great DD, many thanks. Ed

Does anyone know if the early 1/24 scale Spitfire IX orders were upgraded to include the poster? I'm expecting my kit to arrive any day now, but I wondered if anyone else who ordered the kit before the revised 'with poster' offer was launched has now received their kit with the poster included...? Ed

I certainly hope they are!

Hello, what kits did you get in your Mystery Box? I understand they change from time to time and wondered what the current mix is. Thanks in advance...

A new Standard VC10...I'll second that. Was the Roden Super a tough build?

Interesting...is that a kit or partly scratch built?

I'd certainly buy the Angel Interceptor kit if it is ever re-released...

That's a good idea....and bring back the old Bloodhound missile kit too.

Agreed...much needed to go with Airfix's range of V-Bombers.

It was nice to see the pre-production Concorde kit re-re-eased as a Vintage Classic; I bought one. I would also like to see more Vintage Classic airliners produced such as the Boeing 747 (BOAC/Pan-Am/KLM?), DC-10 (British Caledonian/Air New Zealand?), VC10 BOAC/BA/Gulf Air?) and A300 (Korean/South African Airways?). I can dream, can't I...?!

Has anyone on the forum bought the aircraft mystery box recently? Thanks in advance. Ed

A fine effort. I first made this kit (very badly!) in about 1973 and I'm ready for another go at it! I have also ordered the Mk.IX, which will no doubt be way beyond my skills, but I will enjoy it!

Must admit, I'm tempted. Another kit that escaped me in my youth!
