You may remember postings about Airfix's forthcoming TSR.2 being delayed. And also about the big announcements over the weekend just gone at the IPMS (UK) Scale Modelworld Show in Telford. Being on my Dutch Dash I missed out on popping along and seeing what new kits were being planned for 2006 and the revival of Airfix's fortunes.
Big news is the release of a 1/72 scale Nimrod model, something I remember discussions with Trev back when I was fixing models and trying to do my A-levels 
It was always a case of convincing the bean counters it was a winner. And, with the huge demand for TSR2 (rumoured to be outsold 2 to 1 
), getting the go ahead for this was going to be easy. Also, a new 1/48th scale kit of the Canberra. A scale I've not made many kits in, but as age creeps up and the fingers get clumsy, it's starting to appeal
A raft of re-releases, including the Mk1 Ford Escort car kit, and Bristol Bloodhound. So I'll be able to make one up for the desk without paying through the nose on eBay
Also, news on changes to the website, club's, calendars, rugby shirts, and other services that Airfix used to be known for, but dropped many years ago.
All in all, exciting times for those down at Marfleet Lane
