Airfix vintage series 2022

[paul-muc]

In workbench we are asked, which vintage kit we would like to be reissued in 2022. Suggestions are welcomed. So here am I:

• Boeing Clipper
• DHC Beaver
• Mercedes Benz 280 SL
• Boy Scout

[Kenneth ONeill]

Sunbeam Rapier (since it's a coupe or a convertible I'll buy at least 2).

[Susanna Viljanen]

• Henschel Hs 126
• Fiat G.50
• Centurion Tank
• SA-2 Guideline Missile
• DHC Beaver
• Lockheed P-38H Lightning
• Sopwith Pup

ISTR Airfix have lost the Guideline launcher sprue. That said, as long as the truck, semi-trailer and missile are all complete I think most people would live without the launcher?

HO Roman Fort

1/12 Boy Scout

1/12 Showjumper

1/600 Tirpitz

1/144 Discovery

1/180 PS Great Western

1/144 SRN4 Hovercraft

[Kenneth ONeill]

I presume "1/144 Discovery" refers to the RRS Discovery?

I'd also second the SS (aka PS) Great Western.

[Ratch]

yes the ship

Falklands Warships

Zerstörer Rommel

S.R.53

Bristol Bloodhound

SAM-2 Guideline (without launcher wink)

Guards Colour Party

Westland Scout

[Captain Triggers]

Interesting that my post regarding vintage kits I would like to see would not upload because it contains banned words, so I’ll leave the name of the airplane out.

Boy this new website is something else. No wonder it goes for days without posts…..

DHC-1 mk1

[Kenneth ONeill]

Curious; why should the name of a small North American rodent (I presume the C in DHC) be a banned word? Explaining this probably demands string slicing and access to the banned words list.

Hi Kenneth

Let’s leave the reason why the word is banned alone. It is just odd because I have referred to this aircraft by name many times on this forum in the past.

Also in my frustration with the issue I referred to the aircraft as DHC-1 which is the Chipmunk while I meant to write DHC-2 mk1

Just noticed that the P80 shooting star is illustrated for a month in the 2022 Airfix Model World Calendar. Looks like its a favourite for a vintage classics return. I'll be glad to see it again, its one of the fairly decent kits originating in the seventies and eighties that seem to have fallen off the radar.
