As 2024 will be the 80th anniversary of Operation Market Garden I think it would be a good idea to release diorama sets of the operation. I was thinking something like when Airfix released multiple diorama sets when it was the D-Day 75th anniversary. These sets could have themes like capturing Nijmegen Bridge, where you could have Sherman Fireflies. Or a drop zone, where you could have a C-47 dropping supplies/paras. Also the battle of Arnhem where you could have buildings and German tanks. For all of these sets you would obviously have figures, probably in 1/76 or 1/72 scale, but you could also have bridges for the Arnhem and Nijmegen sets. It would be great to see Operation Market Garden commemorated by Airfix by making these sets.

I also think it would be a nice idea to bring back the SAS figures in 1/32.

You make a great team, it is great to see other young modellers such as myself have a go at this sort of thing. Very clever about the sherman and tiger. Maybe save it for a build like Kelly’s Heroes or a tiger tank ambush on a column of allied vehicles.

It would be nice to see this classic comedy in figure scale possibly 1/32. And then you could paint them any way you want to. For example Pike’s scarf has changed throughout the series so you could do it any way you want to. And it could also have air raid warden Hodges, the vicar and the verger.

This tank should be considered by Airfix as it is a beautiful tank and very historic. If they do it should have North African schemes like El Alamein and Italian campaigns.

Airfix hasn’t produced one for years and I think it’s about time we saw a new one especially seeing as it was used a lot earlier in the war

It is really nice to see the B-17G from Airfix but it would be really nice to see the Memphis Belle version of the B-17 in 1/72 scale. It would also be nice to see a B-29 in the range of 1/72 kits with the option of the atomic bomb. Will Airfix release these kits in the future?
