"Two new Airfix aviation models in 1/72nd scale
There is no doubting that the most popular scale for model aviation kits is 1/72nd scale, as it allows the modeller to display, for example, a finished Tiger Moth next to an Avro Lancaster, clearly illustrating the relative size of both aircraft. With so many models already in the range to choose from we are rarely struggling for subject matter. One area where we could certainly benefit from more model choice is that of World War I aviation. As we are currently commemorating the centenary of the Great War, we hope the addition of two brand new WWI models in the 1/72nd scale aviation range will be welcomed.

Hi Stephen

While they're not really "my scale", I probably won't be able to resist the new Airfix kits - Ray (lucky so-and-so! ) gives them a big thumbs up in his detailed sneak preview in the latest Windsock. Seeing as they're coming out at "pocket money" prices, they should hopefully sell in squillions.

All the best

Rowan
