Richard Farrant Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Just heard that Airfix have announced their new models to come out during 2011. For the Land Rover enthusiasts, there is to be a twin pack containing a WMIK and a Snatch, both in 1:48 scale. Also a Cromwell tank in 1:76 scale, with the wading attachments to rear of engine deck. Just recently released is a twin pack containing a Bedford QLD Cargo and QLT Troop Carrier. Airfix actually used my QL for some of their CAD drawings. Not built any kits for years now, but waiting for the QL ones to arrive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzy-t Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Its a shame they cant do a re run of the Diamond T Tank transporter but in a larger scale, 1/76th is mighty small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin craig Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hmm Land Rovers in 1:48 scale! This the bug sucker or airplane scale, so they are making them an add on for a diorama with rotary or fixed wing. If they were really serious for the tread head or armour / softskin modeller then they would be in 1:35 or even 1:24 scale. Ho hum R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I hope their attention to detail is better than their spelling! "There are two L's in Scammell boy!" :nono: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo578 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 the Cromwell (although the illustration looks like a cad style pic) is suspicously similar to the Matchbox -Revel design of the early 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ho hum R I think the LRs are intended to compliment the Merlin chopper in 1/48th, though modern stuff is rare in 1/48th. jch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trustmeimamechanic Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The 1/24 Mosquito is a joy to behold.... now if only someone made a 1/24 mk 9 spit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I understood that Airfix were bringing out a set of WW2 Italian Infantry in 1/76. Contents: 2 wounded; 46 surrendering. Oh yes, the old ones are still the oldest. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
