Maybe a new tool 1/72 Vulcan will come next year.

 

 

 

 

I am guessing 2020 or even 21 for that. But i would put money on a US F-4 Phantom, lots to be made from those moulds, and possably even an F-35 now its in RAF service.

 

 

 

 

Maybe 2022, Falklands 30th and all that?  A Black Buck Vulcan would be my first build choice regardless.  Second (!) build would be the one I photographed at Hickam circa 1980, third (!!!) would be an anti-flash white Blue Steel plane.

So yeah, I kind of like the “Tin Triangle”.

 

Thats why i think 2021, get in there ahead of time. And i am certain it would have Black Buck markings, will go with the Victor.

A new tool Vulcan would be a very welcome addition to the stash!

Good on Airfix - surprise announcement, complete secrecy maintained, mainstream popular subject, and not yet done in that scale. Merry Christmas to the 1/24 USN and RN fans!

If it's like their Typhoons, it will be money well spent.

I‘ll bet money you’re right Bish.  I bet the folks at Eduard are probably sprinting to their CAD stations! 

Airfix wedsite has a May release, so expect that to be July/August.

Hmmmm, tempting! If it was a Wildcat...

1/24th!!!!!!  Holy macaroni and cheese Batman!  Now that will be one beauty of a kit!  The details that will be in there!  Wow!
