I'd be in, Bish. I'd probably break out something fancy and go with one of the new big bombers, but December is a couple of months away so who knows.

Thanks guys, looks like we have enough interest bto be going on with.

Greg, will give me an excuse to build a few more, and thank for the vote of confidance.

Thanks check, you had to go a spoil it Big Smile

G, i think a new Vulcan will deffinetly be coming from Airfix. It seems to be at the top of most peoples wish list when i check the Airfix forum. Not sure if it will be next year or if they will wait until closer to the 40th anniversary of the Falklands war. But i am looking forward to seeing what they have planned for 2019.

Airfix just announced a new tool 1/48 Spitfire Mk.XIV bubbletop, IMHO the coolest looking mark of them all. I know it’s not Gentleman’s Scale, but hopefully it will be superior to the Academy offering.

And the year isn’t over.  A new tool 1/72 Vulcan perchance?

Been wanting to try an Airfix kit, and your GB's are always great.

I can't start until late spring '19, but I'd be in, Bish.

Hi,

Sounds good to me.  I've got a copy of HMS Victorious and/or a copy of their Vampire jet fighter that I've been wanting to build. Stick out tongue

Airfix 80th Anniversary GB feeler
Posted by Bish on Sunday, October 7, 2018 9:38 AM

Next year marks 80 years since the founding of Airfix. Though they did not begin to produce plastic models until the late 40's, the company has become the byword for the hobby in the UK. tell someone you build plastic models, and they will menton Airfix.

So i would like to mark this event in the way we do best, by running a Group Build. It would of course be open to all Airfix kits what ever the genre. If there is enough interest, i would start the build thread at the begining of Dec and it would run from jan 1st for the whole of 2019.

So who is up for honouring a British icon.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so
