[@MrPhantom1961]

As a kid in the early 70's I used to wait with anticipation for the new Airfix catalogue to arrive at our local model shop. I'd cycle home on collecting it and eagerly flick through the pages to find the 'NEW' stars alongside the newly added model kits.

[@GavinNerazzurri]

1/72 well catered for. Thank you Airfix, for bucking current fashions, some of us guys are loyal to the scale.

[@Screeno1993]

Yeah I like the smaller scale. Just feels right. It's what I did as a kid

[@Jack-bs6zb]

Nah … let’s have more 1:24 with lots of etches, backed by aftermarket options and leave the primitive stuff behind.

[@KernowGB]

I hope we get a BAC TSR-2 maybe in 1/72

[@ModelWingsForever]

I was thinking the same thing 😁

[@DoctorStagger]

We need the 1/72 TSR2 back in the range.

[@tbjtbj7930]

Always surprised nobody has done another TSR2 after the Airfix one sold out despite its limitations

[@williamstacey]

yeah, the kits are fetching quiet a bit now in the second hand market, carnt bring myself to 70-80 quid for it. but nothing as yet for this year

[@dtrain1634]

Yes… but not the old tool 😮 new tool please 🙏 Oh and with 3D printed landing gear! The old tool gear just splayed out :(

[@ModelNerd]

This range looks incredible! Some seriously nice looking new tools plus some really interesting re-releases. A lot of variety of sure. Great job!

[@brusselssprouts560]

50+ year old memories! I have a Mk1 Spitfire to build which was the first one I built as a young lad. I was born in Bromley, Kent, but now live about 1.5 miles from the original Hornby factory. What made me buy it is that it has the markings of a RAF Biggin Hill based fighter which is very close to Bromley, and where I have visited many times in the past. RAF Manston is near where I live now, and they have a fantastic Spitfire and Hurricane museum that I urge everyone to visit. RAF Hawkinge near Folkestone is also a magnificent venue.

[@johnholt890]

Well done Airfix you will never please everyone especially in the modelling world, but some interesting new and remarked stuff. For my area of interest B 24 is very welcome, I think the Beaufort will sell well in those markings, Whitley is a great kit. Like the snap together tanks for young modellers great to them into the hobby.

[@michaelgrey7854]

I wish Airfix would do more ships in 1/350 Like a Leander class Frigate or a new tooled Queen Elizabeth aircraft carrier. Also famous liners like the Queen Mary, QE2.

[@janesmith6375]

Love the helis! B24 and D-Day set also brilliant! 1/72 Tornado GR4 and Jaguar GR3 would be great. Great catolouge in my opinion

[@FlankerTanker]

Really good to see the "Uncensored" box art coming back - I have an Airfix book should all the original box art relating to WWII combat action aircraft - it was a real shame that items were airbrushed out but so nice to see it coming back as it was in both real life and PRE PC... I do hope you intend to do this for all you releases going forward.

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

I'm honestly deeply confused as to why people feel so strongly about this. Personally I just want a box that shows me a useful view of the vehicle I'll be building

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Agree. Its history and those "offended" wont buy the kits anyway, but will scream and whine it "offends" them.

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

@@cyberleaderandy1 do you have *any* examples of *anyone* saying that the kit offends them?

[@petercollingwood522]

@@pavarottiaardvark3431 What other reason would they have for being unable to show reality?

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

@@petercollingwood522 I assumed that they simply wanted to move the brand more towards 'technical' than 'action'. Also what makes you assume that it is "unable" rather than "they decided not to"? Have you ever been to the Air Show on Sicily? It's really interesting: instead of aerobatics there's a lot of 'planes flying past slowly with flaps open so you can see all the mechanical bits'. People get different things out of aircraft. Also it's not "reality". Reality would be a photo of the model or the real plane.

[@dawson967]

Nice to see irish air corps 👌

[@michelegiardini3718]

The 1/48 Bristol Bulldog is a great surprise! Thank You Airfix!

[@2-Hands]

So looking forward in seeing the B-24H in 1/72nd scale. I am building a number of models for some Museums in my area and looking forward in adding this one to the Displays. I am currently working on the B-25C and enjoying every minute on it.

[@ibidesign]

That lifeboat might just get me into building naval subjects!

[@trevbul1]

I don't expect Airfix have changed anything with the Severn-Class Lifeboat re-issue, unfortunately. I have just built one from my stash and it is an appalling kit. Warped hull, poor fit (gaping hole in the hull around the lateral propeller), lack of clarity in the instructions. One of the worst kits I have built in 40 years of modelling. The box says skill level 2 which is ridiculous, this kit is well beyond the ability of a novice to make the necessary corrections. Such a shame Airfix continually sit so low in the quality tables against Tamiya and the modern manufacturers.

[@richardwilton722]

Very impressive range, well presented. A tiny quibble: In the British armed forces, lieutenant is pronounced "leff-tenant" not "loo-tenant". (9:37). Thank you for the video and the exciting new range.

[@bill8784]

Airfix models are brilliant. So many childhood memories of members of our family making aircraft and ships. Received one for my birthday last year and must get on with it.

[@jamfjord]

Some decent kits in that lot, but both lifeboats are what I'm most excited about. Seriously, Shannon class as a starter set? Blown away. Nice launch, Airfix. You showed Hornby how it's done.

[@richw0123]

Airfixx are really getting better every year. The last 3 kits I've made were Airfix. The 1/48 Lighthing F1. Their 1/48 Spitifre MK14 converted to a high back, and the 1/48 Sea Vixen. All look amazing. I wish Airfix would design proper crew figures though and not generic on file ones with hands on laps and oxygen masks off. I would love to see a 1/350 HMS Victory, with loads of photo etch. Even though it would be small it could be displayed with other ships of the same scale.

[@tydeuskero7295]

Looks like my Bomber Command will grow! This new Beaufort painting schemes are great, Liberator in 1:72 looks magnificent... And I've been dreaming about Whitworth being available again! Thank You for it. (Hoping for PB4Y-2 Privateer, BTW!)

[@andresgarcia7757]

Beautiful kits! I just finished their spitfire and me-109 and was pleasantly surprised by these new kits! Good work guys!

[@mrclokehistory]

The H model Liberator is a very smart choice. The old Academy kit was reasonable for its time, but had a J model nose with the H model turret, so it is about time we had an accurate one. I'm sure it will be tooled to allow future releases of other variants. Perhaps even a Coastal Command one?

[@Simon_Nonymous]

and indeed other RAF variants would please me greatly!

[@kitbag9033]

So excited to see that Bristol Bulldog, definitely a pre order for that little beauty. Shannon lifeboat looks good too, but best of all is that P1127, given to me in original packaging. Now I can display a built up model and the 1963 version together.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

Nice. The two 1/76 Guards band and colour party is great. I´m just about to start making a series on the HO scale figures starting from 1959 and doing one video for every year onward with every HO figure set released that year. Just missed an almost mint first set of guards in pink but I´m still on the hunt so I can start the series. These two sets will be a fun comparison to make. Then I will make videos on the nine sets of 1/32 scale that were realesed in brown boxes. It´s gonna be a fun next few months. Looking forward to the two sets :)

[@jefthing]

I was cheered by the Guards and they are in red too. I think the early “pink” sets may be a myth. They were always moulded in red but the early ones were not colour fast and could fade if kept in extreme conditions. Really looking forward to your videos, though. And I still have my first Airfix figures: Type 1 8th Army from 1970.

[@toysoldiernostalgia]

I have heard that to but in my mind they would not be evenly faded in color between sets and even within sets. I it was a matter of fading I think there would be more variation. @@jefthing

[@ravensfootball52]

Was hoping for a b-29 but happy we get a b-24! That chinook is exciting too! They’ll be joining my stash for sure

[@darkknight1340]

It's great to see a new tool 1/72 B-24. I was hoping for a new tool 1/48 Jaguar GR1. Maybe it'll be one of the surprise announcements?.

Ive been hoping that they would bring out the Hampden, cant wait hopefully it will be out soon, as for the others the Liberator and chinook look fab well done Airfix

[@thepresident1971]

Hi Dale, hope you're well. I remember meeting you at the air tattoo show some time in July last year. Remembered asking for a B-24. Im really glad airfix has released a new, more available B-24. Thankyou. Very excited for this kit.

[@timlewis8685]

Slick presentation and very informative. Well done Airfix; I hope these will do well in 2024. B24 is the highlight for me but I like all the new starter sets as well, especially the RNLI offering. Re-releases - great new schemes for Gladiator, Tiger Moth, MIG 17 and the especially wonderful Beaufort, I'll certainly take on another. The Meteor FR9 club kit was one of my 2023 favourites. Maybe a Vintage Classic ship for the list?

[@RedViking2020]

Very impressed the boys from Airfix!!! How hard to choose what is viable and of interest to a hobby audience so varied in tastes,age groups and competence. Love the Liberator,just thinking recently how few B-24 options there are out there available or just long in the tooth. Bulldog bring back memories of a childhood build,what a detailed kit in my fav scale 1/48. Huge fan of the Beaufort and the schemes are perfect,the Eurofighter was a great idea as the Chinook in again perfectly chosen markings. Would be nice to have 3 decal choices in the larger scales. Whitley gratefully received and lovely idea with the Lifeboat and proceeds going to the heros who protect our shores. Impressive markings on the ' Glad' and late Spit too plus the Tiger and Shermans making another mark in bigger scale. Huge P-40 fan so another excuse to go shopping and great to see the Swift. Part of british jet evolution.Vey happy to see we can now add the Hampden to our Blenheim and Beaufort for lighter twin engined bombers.Well done Gentleman,you cant please everyone all the time and us impatient picky lot can remember that there will be more to come. Get the till ready gents,im on my way. Oh and . . . THANK YOU! :-)

Well done to airfix..you certainly know how to keep a chap hooked😅😊...kind regards Dave ❤

[@richardbaxter2057]

Loving the Lifeboats, especially as the Range has grown......I’ll be having both of these! 👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for wheeling back out the HP Hampden....old but very do’able.....and I’ll be having that as well! 🤪 Re Lifeboats: It would be a massive thing if you could, as a new kit, introduce a Watson Class Lifeboat to the fleet. My reason for asking is this: In 1981, the Penlee Lifeboat “The Solomon Browne” (which was a Watson Class Lifeboat), went to the assistance of the MV Union Star. Despite the ferocity of the weather, the virtual beaching of the Union Star and knowing full well, that the situation was irreconcilable, the Coxswain Trevelyan Richards, made every attempt at rescuing all souls that were aboard the Union Star. He and his Crew almost succeeded but were cheated by mechanical failure (obstructed propellors). Without power and in hurricane force conditions, all lives were lost..... ....it would be a very honourable thing if, some 44 years later, we could remember the RNLI in general, through such a model in 2025? Thank you to all of you! ❤️

[@narlokeill736]

Here, here. That's a fantastic idea. I have a lot of respect for the RNLI. The Severn kit was a real challenge. I think the hull was very tricky to get right. Perhaps the new release has this updated a bit

[@richardbaxter2057]

@@narlokeill736 Thank you! Coming from a seaside town originally (Whitstable), so have I. The Crews, nationally, are absolutely the best, along side all of our Services, Armed and otherwise and generally a microcosm of our society as well. A Watson Class Boat, especially if paired with a Sea King Helicopter, would be even better. On the night, Rescue Eight Zero, From 820 Naval Air Squadron, flown by LtCDR Russell Smith, United States Navy, was prevented from rescuing the souls aboard the Union Star due to the excessive rise and fall of the ship. Rescue Eight Zero remained “on Station” until LrCDR Smith believed that the Penlee Boat was pulling away and ceasing its attempts at further rescue, so they weren’t privy to the actual destruction of the Solomon Browne. As far as stories of the truly heroic go, none in my humble opinion, surpass that of Trevelyan Richards and his Crew. The very best of us who were foiled at the very last. I was Thirteen at the time and it left a deep impression on me.

Otherwise, same old same old. The Supermarine Scimitar needs modelled. Absent in the Airfix catalogue since . . . oh, yes, forever. 1/48 preferably, but 1/72 would be good. Maybe it will be this year's surprise 1/24 scale Christmas release! Not nearly enough non-military subjects - aircraft, ships, cars. eg Skyvan, BN Islander. Vintage cars. A 1/150 Mary Rose (okay, it was a warship). A 1/350 Mauretania or Canberra, or one of the classic 1970s Sealink ferries.

[@emmabird9745]

Thank you Dale. A very tasty list, particularly Ajax (which I was only thinking about the other day). Think if you brought out Exeter (or brought back Sulfolk for the conversion) we could make a "River Plate Set". Hooray for P1127 and Belvedere that I missed first time around. There certainly are some very interesting new projects in my mind now. Incidentaly, you mentioned the Belvedere comming in exciting times, but as a follow up, Bristol sold the rights to the tandem helicopter work to Boeing Vertol from which many derivatives have followed. This sort of makes the Chinnook (another release) the great great (however many greats) grandchild of the Belvedere. Keep it up Airfix.

Being a predominately Sailing ship modeller (plastic & wood) i havent bought anything from Airfix for a number of decades due to the fact that i have built all the Sailing ships and most of the warships you have produced. However i always tune in to your release updates in hope. That said the 2 Lifeboat kits caught my eye as its a charity i give to regularly and i like the detail on them which is a big must for me, so i have actually pre ordered these 2 kits now, but would still like the company to releases 1 new sailing ship as there is a hell of a lot of us modellers out there obviously depending on the ship choice but have no doubts that the company would make a profit on this after production costs, just dont forget about us period Navy guys n gals. Btw the 2 Lifeboats look Awesome 👌 👏

[@TheFulcrum2010]

Overall a nice collection of kits. I'm just wondering if the Liberator is the Academy tooling. I noticed they didn't show the actual kit as they did of the other releases.

Some great choices. For me though the only "must have" is the P1127. The Liberator is tempting. I really should pick up a Swift as I have worked on one. I may get the Jet Prov.

UK Border Force has its own cutters for tax and crime etc. As a result life saving is done by the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, who use small and tough little boats for their specialised rescue ops. The iconic color scheme is a mix of royal blue and bright 'international orange'

Really excited about the B-24! For some reason the 1:72 B-24 is rarer than hen's teeth which is strange for the most produced American aircraft ever. Even Short Stirlings are easier to purchase these days.

Great new (and not so new) kits in the range this year, for the old timers, you should make a kit of the flying car from the bbc's rendition of the box of delights

These look great! So excited!

Thanks for the video. Hoping that these new products will make our young people want to make models with their hands. I started in the 70s with Airfix in nylon bags :o)

Great to see Airfix still going strong.

I watched the episode where the young designer introduced the ‘shadow’ stand to the aeroplane models. Absolute genius and I hope that he was rewarded for this inspired creation. 👏👏👏👏👏

Very nice new sets!!! I got some of the new tooling kits, mainly tanks, excellent!!! Nice to see P1127 and Belvedere again being produced. Had a lot of work with the P1127 making interior and two position canopy and landing gear, and also the famous but almost never used external weapons support. Nice little bird. As always, I pushed a little harder than required to include a single cannon pod. This will be removed sometime in the future, as no single weapon pod was ever fitted to Kestrels or Harriers, let alone the original P1127. The general idea is to turn the airplane in a Kestrel, as one of the options of the kit was fairly similar, exception being made to the horizontal stabilizers. These were slightly different in dihedral and shape. The dihedral I could correct, the shape I could not. I guess all miniature plane lovers may have some prefered planes. This little, wildly experimental jet was mine. The same way with my beloved Harriers and the fantastic Sea Harrier... peharps Airfix may try a Kestrel kit, 1/72, with some extra fittings, such as the engine or a pair or two of bombs, and, of course, some fitters and a pilot, with an old version Land Rover. This would preserve one of the most important steps in the development of VSTOL aircraft... Kind regards from the distant shores of Brazil!!!
