Seems with each subsequent release Airfix's 1/72 kits get better and better definitely looking forward to the P-51 D and F-51 D and the Spitfire mk 22 and finally a new tool of the me 109 E if these kits are as good as their recent 81 a Hawk and A6M2 Zero kits the future's definitely looking bright for Airfix already putting them on my wishlist thanks for the heads up Tim Ant

No problem Ant. I am really looking forward to seeing the Scoooter [A-4], the Spit 22, the F-51, the Swordfish float plane, the Lynx and the Merlin. Airfix certainly look like they are going in the right direction. Hopefully they will continue to produce value for money kits. All the best. tim
