LSP_Kevin Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Just watched Alan Kelley's live stream of the Airfix announcement, and it's a 1/24 Hellcat.

PhilB Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hopefully they might have a built up one and someone there can get some pictures? Jan_G and Out2gtcha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Williams Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) Wow! I’m sure that will make many happy, but for me that is just such an uninspired choice. After the Mosquito and Typhoon, this really came out of left field. A hard no for me, I’m afraid.

Tony T Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 If I were twenty years younger this Hellcat, and the recent Typhoons might have pulled me into 1/24th scale. Alas, old dog, no new tricks etc so I'll pass but hope this will sell in shedloads so we can see more British gear. Looking forwards to hearing of the other new announcements. Nice F6F though. Looks to be a good 'un. Tony Padraic Conway, R Palimaka, Jan_G and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quang Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The pricing is SO right. £119.99, that's about the price of a Tamiya 1/32 Mustang. Will look good as a French Hellcat in Indochina. Heavy weathering et al. I'm sold! Quang Uncarina, Jan_G, Rick Griewski and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomdriver Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Good choice, not just another.. "Yawn.. 109/190/ Spit.." David66, Jack, Rick Griewski and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Aircraft does nothing for me. Maybe because I had such a crap time with Trumpeters F4F-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neo Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 (edited) I think it a good choice. Folding wing on such large scale means ppl will be able to display them witch was one of the show stoppers of the typhoon for many modelers. (Not me i have 2) Im asuming it will comevwith the raf marking in the box. I really like the scheme on Brits hellcats https://goo.gl/images/xiCMYb Edited November 10, 2018 by Neo David66 and Jan_G 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
