It is nice to see Airfix getting back into the market, as their model kits were the "standard" for so many years, having been marketed under various names but still carrying the Airfix make on the molded parts. Much of what is listed is of course for re-release, no real earth shaking news there, but it nice to see them back. I still have a lot of the kits listed, in my stash, yet to be build.

As for the 1/24th Mossie, it is/was/and will be BIG !! This is my effort with it back in the 1980's. Sorry I don't have more pics, but it has long gone to the big plastic airfield in the sky. As you can see it was so big, I built it to hang from the ceiling, there was no room to display it elsewhere.
