Menelaos Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 a bit too early for this but what about a Beaufighter? (I would like to see it as new 1:32 tool as well) Derek B, phantomdriver, alanash1963 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 That's an idea, but I would suggest a new Spit Mk I or a Corsair, which would have good appeal to many modelers. I still like the thought of a Beaufighter, as it would be an impressive kit for sure. RBrown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Gadbois Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Just another thought: how about a Tiger Moth, that would be cool! Tons of markings, military or civilian. Alain Stefano, Menelaos, mpk and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dpgsbody55 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Agreed it is a bit too early to be speculating on Airfix's next 1/24 aircraft, but also agreed on your choice of the Beaufighter. This is a plane that is sorely neglected by the large scale manufacturers. That said, they have tended towards less common types with the Typhoon and Hellcat not covered so well by other manufacturers, so perhaps they will continue that trend with the next release to give themselves a chance at commercial success. So think of lesser known types but not obscure planes. That list could include P-40, P-39, long nose FW-190, Griffon Spitfires, Wellington, Macchi, or one of the Russian fighters. They could also do an up to date early Spitfire or Messerschmitt 109 as those 2 are crying out for new renditions. It's quite a list, and I'm betting that just such a list is already doing the rounds in the Airfix office. Cheers, Michael Menelaos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DONG Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 More than likely a P-51D, F4U-1D or Spitfire XIV because thats what sells. We can all wish for what we want but Airfix has the final word and I doubt a Beaufighter or P-38 is on their list right now. But you never know we did just get a Tamiya 1/48 P-38 so who knows. How well did the Mossie sell ? I know over here I've seen one built at a show since it came out and I can still go into a hobby shop and find the 1/32 Tamiya Mossie here. We probably have a better chance of Revell bumping up thier 1/48 kit which wouldn't be bad. Menelaos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade rowlands Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Personally I’d be happy for them to go back to their old tool Spitfires, Hurricane,109/190, Mustang and Stuka and give them a thorough modernising to the standards of their new 1/24 stuff. I have the Hellcat in the stash and after years of it lurking in the stash I’m currently working on the bubbletop Typhoon. Though having to scrape mould lines off each and every part is tiresome is still a nice kit thus far. Though competition for the Hurricane and Stuka exists from Trumpeter in 1/24, more so for the Hurricane as the Trumpeter kits are actually quite nice. Trumpeter also have all the Stuka series covered. It if the errors from their 1/32 versions carried over to 1/24 which they likely did as they are probably just upscaled retools then there’s room for Airfix there.

Scotsman Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Me-262 - they'e done the other big 3 German types.. ..The Beaufighter is a nice thought , but I'm not sure there's the groundswell of intrest in the type outside the UK , the Blenhim might be an possibility as it ties in with the BoB , ( 80th annivsery next year) as for twin engined US types, the smallest would be the A-20, not a huge draw there , P-47 , been done , P-51B/C possible , P-38 , Hmm .. not impossible .. bit but that hasn't stopped Airfix and the mossie So how about a Zero , again there are 1/24th Zeros out there , but one done to the standards of the Hellcat would be very welcome But I'll stick with the 262 as an opton..
