Fancy a go at that.

[Xplumberlives]

Me too, I'm hoping the one in the kit will be one of those I worked on!

[Lucas1860]

That would be a good make then. It will be a fair size kit.

I hope so!

Ooh , they're re-releasing the 1:72 Chippy [my first ever Airfix kit] and the 1:72 TSR2

[Olicat]

the TSR2 looks like it's a japanese anime version, though i could be wrong
Edit:this
as featured in this video about 50 seconds in...

[Cluny]

It is indeed , the discription on their website states it includes standard TSR2 decals as well

[MOD]

I have not had a go at modelling since my teens but today's kits seem so much better.

Re Airfix's recent catalogue, I fancy trying the Swordfish Mk1. Do you know what decals come with this? Is there a choice?

I am sure one of the AFTERMARKET decal manufacturers will produce some different versions!

[Cluny]

I thought you got the Korean war set?

[Xplumberlives]

I got the Swordfish last year, got the two Harriers this year and will get the Korean War pair next year!


Ian, here is the proposed box art work for the Swordfish!

[MOD]

Thanks guys. I fancy reproducing W5856.




Ian

[Olicat]

I hope it's not as bad as some of the starter sets, they might be easy but the detail inside is terrible

Yep , and a catologue

[Olicat]

Ah sorry i misunderstood what you said.

[Xplumberlives]

Ian, the Swordfish I recieved had decals for K8375 of 810 NAS and LS326 of 836 NAS.

[MOD]

Thanks Dave. Was LS326 in these markings? I prefer W5856 if I can get hold of those decals.


Ian

[Xplumberlives]

Yes, they are ONE of the marking options in the Airfix Club kit.

[Olicat]

Isn't that Wildcat MkVI a martlet?

[Cluny]
