Re: Airfix 1/48 Walrus
Did you use the Airfix USA website ? It is catatonic for me ....
Eduard already has a full PE treatment for it and I am thinking 1 OOB and 1 with some bling where useful.
Of course, if the Airfix/USA website doesn't wake up, I might as well stick with the two Classic Airframe kits I still have.

It will be several days before "that" email from Airfix/USA will arrive.

I've just ordered one and I don't 'do' 1/48
It looks too good a kit to miss though!

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Airfix 1/48 Walrus
Well, I finally got a pre-order in at Airfix/USA. It seems their website does not like IE, went nicely when I tried Chrome.
So, I have 2 of them on pre-order, and one full set of Eduard PE -- my plan is one OOB, one with more detail. Then any left-over PE can go on one of the CA kits I still have in the stash. The CA kit was one of my favorite builds.
Anyway, won't see it until late October, plenty of time. We can have the GB sometime after.

Jadlam Racing (a reputable UK seller) still had stock this morning; postage to the US would be about £11 looking on their websiteVMA131Marine wrote:Already "out of stock" on the Airfix UK site. Hopefully they get more in quickly.

Re: Airfix 1/48 Walrus
Got an in-stock, then shipping notice, from Airfix/USA.
If it gets here by Tuesday, then one of them gets to go on holiday and be fondled.
