A lot of interesting stuff. They do seem to be listening to modelers needs. I'll almost certainly be getting the Blenheim's and Tiger Moth. Types which have long been overdue for a modern tooling. The Swift will be another good seller as will the Dakota's. With next years D-Day celebrations I can those being very popular.

I've built one 'New Tool' Airfix offering, and have been very happy with the quality. Its clear that Airfix is becoming a major player once again.
Interesting and welcome subjects on that list.
Well done Airfix!!
