Re: Modeling News & New Kits
Talking of the Airfix 1/24, I only ever built the Hurricane (twice) and loved the detail. I really learn't a lot about the aircraft from it.
I have received my big order from Airfix. The Hurricane, Blenhiem and Beaufighter look 'challenging' but the BBMF set looks good and crisp. Maybe a newer molding. It also comes with acrylic paints, glue and a brush which would be good if giving as a present to get a younger person interested. The most impressive thing is the stand which is included and lets you display the three aircraft in flight as they would appear at a show. I was going to build them all wheels down but this is making me think otherwise.
Lastly, I got the WW2 RAF airfield set. Comes with a Spit, a couple of refueling bowsers and a diarama base. The best thing is a large sprue of RAF ground personell in different poses. Even a couple of scrambling fighter pilots. Could be fun!!
