What do you want as kits in 2019?

[Booga]

First post, G'day all. ☺️ 

I'll second a Canberra in 1:72. If there was a B2 option it would be easy for Aussie subject modellers to produce it as a B20. I'd also like to see a sprue added to the 1:72 Beaufighter kit for the Sperrey autopilot lump the Aussie Beau's wore.  Same era, a Beaufort?  Other than that I would definitely buy a Sea Venom, Hunter,, meteor, TSR,and Vulcan if they were in 1:72. The last two are near impossible to find. 

 

Would anyone be interested in the flying bedstead/ early Harrier prototypes? 

A Kestrel F(GA)1 oh yeah!

A buccaneer in 1/72 paleeez 

[neil brooks1707819050]

A 1/72 scale Hastings or Lincoln please 

[barwick64]

A few box set ideas:

1. Classic Motorbikes (Honda, BSA etc.)

2. Historic Figures. (Caesar, Napoleon etc)

3. Cival Aircraft (Scottish Bulldog, Piper Cherokee Arrow Etc)

All classic kits long over due a re-release

[RR]

1/24 Beaufighter. I've personally been hoping for this for years and years.

All classic kits long over due a re-release

 The Marauder is being re-released this year. It may help if Airfix fans go out of their way to buy one or two of these. It may encourage them to re-introduce a few more seventies kits, some of them weren't too bad.

[Daniel OGrady1707819937]

1. 1/72 Avro Lincoln

2. 1/72 Handley Page Hastings

3. 1/48 Re-Tooled Buccaneer

4. 1/72 Re-Tooled Grumman Widgeon/Gosling

5. 1/48 Spitfire Mk.XVIII

6. 1/72 Vickers Warwick

7. 1/72 Avro Manchester

8. 1/72 Re-Tooled H.P Hampden

9. 1/72 Re-Tooled P-47 Thunderbolt

10. 1/72 Re-Tooled RAF and USAAF personnel

[Adam Knauss]

I am hoping for more tanks and vehicles. They seem as if they will all get discontuied soon! I love them all so!

[Adam Knauss]

I have noticed that none of the new kits for 2018 are tanks! I love these kits and hope, and I think other tank fans do to, that we will get some tank kits in 2019.

please airfix, make more!

a authentic airfix fan,

who else wants a new fairy battle to add to their collection

[Jimmyslovechild]

My wish list for 2019 would include:

Sepecat Jaguar

Westland Wessex

Blackburn Beverley

SAAB Viggen

Dassalt Mirage

De Havilland Comet

Handley Page Hastings

AFV 430 Series

HMS Hood

HMS Illustrious (WWII)

I must admit the aircraft on this list is influenced by a recent visit to Newark Air Museum!

[Andy Moth]

1/48 Buck definitely.

How about a set of 1/72 seated and masked WW2 and Post war pilots ?

Revell made a set (no longer available).

!/48 would be nice as well seeing as neither the FGR1 or Fury had one.

As an extra point - whats with Airfix pricing policy ? 1/72 mitchel - lots of plastic 25 quid - same with Fury and Phantom - good stuff and no hesitation to hand over the creditcard.

So forth coming Hunter - why 36 Quid ? No Engine - its not much bigger in 1/48 than a Mitchel in 1/72.

Going to think long and hard about this and my guess is the money will go on the UK Mitchel and FGR2, one thinks others will go the same way.

[jopres57]

I was amused to see the Tiger 1 tank is still in the 2018 catalogue, I assume this is still the nineteen sixties version that has risen from the dead more times than Captain Scarlet ! I'm sure someone at  Airfix is keeping it going as a bet.

Seriously though, if this old warhorse can keep going why can't some of the others. I'd like to see the Scimitar tank kit finally updated from the prototype before the real thing finally retires from service after nearly fifty years! I've said before on the forum how disappointing it is that the main UK model manufacturer does not produce more British Army kits. Things don't seem to be changing unfortunately.

[ironsides]

Sopwith Dolphin 1/72

FE2b 1/72

HMS Warrior (1860) any scale.... if in larger scale with a decent interior...

The Mary Rose would be nice... ina larger scale say 1/144 or 1/72 should include suitable crew.

Failing That:

Any WW1 or Pioneer Aircraft that hasn't been done to death in 1/72...

Any Iron clad warship of HRM Victoria's Navy, 1/350 might work well for a range...

If we're going to do a new Jaguar, can we please get the intake doors right? That is closed unless the aeroplane is crewed, engines running, and static or taxiing.

[Autumn66]

a change of 'tack' here

Jacques-Yves Cousteau's CALYPSO would be ever so cool  (pourquoi pas hein?) , a bit retro but avant-garde

 

[Gluey fingered Dave]

What about an RNLI Tamar or Shannon? They did the Severn a few years back.  Or even the older ones, Mersey is it? I'm a sucker for anything with bright orange paint or the words rescue on it somewhere.  Well out of the box but if Airfix ever get into trucks can I have a collection of UK firetrucks please? Only asking as the only way I'll ever see an Australian fire truck is to scratch build one and I struggle with making the ones that come in boxes

[Andrew Thomson1707819853]

 Tell you what would be nice, a civilian twin in 1/48, maybe a Beech King air (ambitious?) or something smaller like a Piper Seneca. Maybe a Chipmunk or other trainer (Vampire?) in 1/48 or even 1/24 (ambitous again)............the military boys and girls will be thinking I am silly now but there are a few of us who like to build the civvie stuff as well as military

I believe the Tamar was under consideration back in 2008, but obviously nothing has come of that 🤑

Hi Airfix,

speaking for WWII aircraft kits 1/72 fans from Czech republic, we wish following new tools items as:

1.) Avro Anson (which may be certainly much better than Anson from local Czech MPM or Special Hobby producer)

2.) Handley Page Hampded (which as we guess will be much better than Czech Valom or AZ Models kits) and which extend bomber range starting with A.W. Whitley and continuing by Wellington.

3.) Fairey Battle

4.) Westland Lysander

5.) Douglas Boston ( (which will be certainly much better than MPM or Special Hobby Boston)

6) Aichi D3A1 Val as follower of B5N2 Kate, A6M2 model 21 Reisen

Also some WWI aircraft will be welcomed as whole range original WWI Airfixes but in new tool version. And the same can be said for btw WWI and WWII silver wing era as Fairey Fury, Hawker Demon, Buldog, Siskin etc.

Anyway, all 1/72 oldtimer aircraft which will appear in 2019 will be perfect and that's why we wish you  successe with the selection of new tool candidates.

Your banzai

[Buccaneer103]

Beeing ex Fleet air arm and a maintainer on Buccaneer mk2 & wessex 5s I would love to see new kits of both   in 1/48.   800 & 845 sqdns perhaps ! !

Fleet air arm kits in general are a great insperation for myself. It takes some skill to land on a carrier going up and down as well as not staying in the same space, and at the speed.required  to catch the wires too.

[Michele Giardini]

Definitely Blackburn Buccaneer, either 1/72 and 1/48.

[anthony bailey1707820323]

A 1/24th scale English Electric Lightning,if they can do a mossie they can do this 😆

[david evans1707819943]

Can we have some ships ?

1/700 HMS Queen Elizabeth/Prince of Wales aircraft carrier,

1/700 WWII ships crusers aircraft carriers,

1/700 current Royal Navy Warships,

1/72 F35B Royal Navy/Royal Air force,

1/72 Super Puma,

1/48 Challenger 2

1/72 Typhoon Euro fighter British

[chris_dorrington]

If I could get the Airfix Gods to grant my 2019 wish(s), they would include:

1/ 1/48rh Fairey Gannet AEW3

2/ 1/48tn Supermarine Scimitar

3/ return of the 1/48th TSR 2

4/ 1/48th F-4K or M

5/ 1/72nd or better still 1/48th Gloster Meteor Night Fighter variant

6/ A dh Venom or Sea  Venom in 72nd or 48th.

 

thanks
