Xango Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 Does anyone know when the switchover is to the Hawks for the 2022 Club model? Not really interested in the Kate so waiting to join when the new model is released. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter john bandee-underwoo Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 thats just what i would like them to tell us as my membership now ends at the end of this Jan and i don't want another Kate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tw122l3 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 I think the plan is that most renewals be done at the end of Jan and they will swap to teh Hawk at that point. They extended peoples membership until then and i think most joined back in July time a year ago so they due at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol1707822086 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Looking forward to the new hawk kit but will it have any collector tokens on the box. The Kate didn't although I enjoyed building it. I painted it in the US colour scheme, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf1707822079 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi is Alfie I have three things to say not in a mean way but the first thing is I joins the club an the plane what you get hasn’t arrived. Next is that you know the flight hours passport thing I didn’t get that with the calendar and the letter but I got the membership card with the other two. My third thing is I sent a I build because. So I just wanted to know what do you do with it. From Alfie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Hi Alfie, you need to use the Contact facility and hopefully someone will get back to you and be able to sort out your problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven_kerfoot Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I had my renewal due email today and it's quoting the Hawks as the kit you receive. That said, it's not my bag, so for £30, I'll be leaving the club since the non-kit option has been removed by Airfix. Nevermind eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I have just renewed at £27.00 with the Club discount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven_kerfoot Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Indeed, I believe the last price I enrolled for was £14.99, so that's close to a 50% increase, albeit with a kit that I wouldn't buy. That's the issue, the club is supplying a kit I wouldn't pay for, and the option is removed to enroll without it. I just used the last of my flying hours anyway so not an issue. Having looked though at what the club is offering for membership, makes you wonder what all the rumpus was about with them saying people have asked if it was worth the money. The answer is to increase the lowest price of joining it, and as far as I can see not much else. Cue the chorus of the usual suspects telling me I'm moaning about nothing and how Airfix is never wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cashed in my flying hours and will spend the next 12 months putting my covid stash together as my work as an aeronautical engineer ramped up during the pandemic (ie no furlough/work from home for me)!

For me it's been two years almost exclusively building 1/35 afvs, (mostly German) which has made a nice Covid-collection. I have to say, the Academy kits that Airfix are selling in their 1/35 range are really nice, I can recommend the Tigers in particular, (together with a sheet of zimmerit Trumpeter sell as a plain A4 sheet that you cut to size). I wish I could say that I could get through my stash of kits in a year. What can I say, I can't resist a cheap kit :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KREATOR1707819486 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Same here l don't want more Hawks l have more than enough if them. I do not want the club mags or calendar either... Just a basic membership with the flying hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KREATOR1707819486 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I will not be renewing this year. I do not require any more Hawks I have quite enough of them, so the £27 even with a 10% discount I never got on two armour orders leaves most disappointed with the whole club concept I don't want club magazines or calenders as I buy my Airfix model World from stationers when the articles are interesting enough to warrant the purchase so it is with regret "Your Fired!"

Ratch Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 That is your choice Kreator, we all decide how we spend our hard earned, and trolling when you've already made your point won't change anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful now, as they said on Father Ted, your criticism has been termed trolling by someone who has clearly never been trolled in his life. Being critical isn't trolling. The guy has an opinion, he's made it, yet, as I said previously, never a critical remark on here that isn't disputed, and calling someone a troll is just unacceptable for someone who has moderate as part of their jobs-worth title.

Grumps123 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Whilst I don't usually build anything except WW2 aircraft, I think the 2 x Hawks pack (plus the other Airfix Club benefits) represents really good VFM as the catalogued Hawks retail at £17.99 each. (Series 3 kits)Who knows, maybe I'll get into post WW2 aircraft? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marto Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 My pack arrived today Apart from the keyring, there is nothing in that box that justifies £27+ for me. I will just collect my flying hours and re-join at a future date when the offerings are more to my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Kullas Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Apart from the keyring, there is nothing in that box that justifies £27+ for me. I will just collect my flying hours and re-join at a future date when the offerings are more to my liking. 2 Airfix BAe Hawk kits at £17.99 rrp each with a set of special decals at, say £5.99* = £41.97 (maybe Airfix cost price of kits, £12 each + decals = £29.99), plus a 'Club' exclusive year calendar, and hopefully three, maybe four, news-magazines during the year, and 10% discount on orders plus the savings in using the flying hours'Yeah, not worth £27/£30 at allSo I renewed, cos I'm a fool *sort of equivalent price of a sheet of special BAe Hawk decals from the big H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark-1238690 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi all,I'm new to the club and recently recieved my red box. There was no exclusive calendar in it though. Doesn't anyone know if this comes as a separate package or do I have to request it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratch Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Calendars were sent out around Christmas/New Year to existing members. As you've joined late, you should get one next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
