Greg, I respect and love you, but you're weird.

I think if I show Sam that she'll leave.

Its kind of likeable though:

Only in the 'only a mother...' sense....

What if I add floats:

How much more drag can you add to an aircraft

Red lipstick, fish net stockings, platform pumps, feather boa, corsett, and a faux pearl necklace? That enough "drag" for you? :)

Ahhh bliss.. I too have the Blackburn Contrail kit along with its very ugly cousins
the Avro Bison

And the Blackburn Dart

It is the least Airfix can do is to release these, significant early Fleet Air Arm Aircraft

Dart? Pug would be more suiable

1/48 Walrus.

CAD shots of said Walrus:

The CGI/CAD images are quite inspiring and tempting :)

Buzzbomb · « **Reply #263 on:** October 10, 2016, 01:27:01 PM »

Yay !

The 1/48 Curtiss P-40B is finally out as of last week - mine is coming via Hannants as we probably won't see them in NZ for another year - and in the last 36hr the brand-new 1/72 B-17G has been released.

Daryl J. · « **Reply #265 on:** November 04, 2016, 09:56:40 PM »

1/48 Sea Fury!

Here's a LINK!

MOD EDIT: Added link!

DJ to Mods: Thank you! :)

Old Wombat · « **Reply #266 on:** November 04, 2016, 10:27:19 PM »

That is a must buy!

KiwiZac · « **Reply #267 on:** November 10, 2016, 03:32:37 AM »

SEA FURY!!!!!!!

I placed a backorder with Hannants as soon as I got the email.

Airfix are proud to announce that the latest addition to their 1/72nd scale kit range will be a newly tooled example of the magnificent British McDonnell Douglas FG.1 Phantom II.

Price: £24.49
Item Code: A06016
Estimated Arrival 16/10/2017

We'd love to hear your reaction to the new Phantom FG.1. There is a dedicated Workbench thread on the Airfix Forum, and our social media team will be reporting live from Telford, so head over to the Airfix Facebook page or our Twitter channel.

Product home page is here.

What can I say but, "Hot damn!" Here's hoping they then do a FGR.2 also.

Daryl J. · « **Reply #270 on:** November 13, 2016, 08:04:36 AM »

Love your Phantom, have it Speyed!

Volkodav · « **Reply #271 on:** November 13, 2016, 10:03:08 AM »

Wow, they just get better and better.

Already thought of a WIFF for it too, when Argentina invades the Falklands Ark Royal has been retired and scraped but Eagle (for some inexplicable reason) is still along side (possibly awaiting sale or conversion to a NATO command ship) and due to her good condition and all the systems available from the recently scrapped Ark Royal is rapidly brought back into service. The first task force contains the situation, while the second, including Eagle, Tiger, Illustrious and Bulwark launches the actual invasion to retake the islands. The Eagle, with her Phantoms, is pivotal in this campaign.

KiwiZac · « **Reply #272 on:** November 14, 2016, 06:04:52 AM »

Some people have said they spotted FGR.2-specific parts in the video, so here's hoping! Even though I'm an FGR.2 fan I've backordered one.

Initially I was disappointed the big Telford reveal wasn't a physically big model, and then that the price was so high. On reflection, though, there's a LOT of plastic in that kit. And I'm one who's been asking them for a Spey Phantom!

Old Wombat · « **Reply #273 on:** November 14, 2016, 04:05:14 PM »

It'd be better in 1/48.

Then I'd need to find a 1/48 F-4E to cross with it to create an Australian hybrid E/K with internal gun & Spey engines.

Volkodav · « **Reply #274 on:** November 14, 2016, 04:13:32 PM »

I've bought a few of their recent releases and am really impressed with what's in the box, I will probably be adding a Phantom or two as well, when I see them at the LHS.
