Airfix Announcement 25th July

Post by iggie »

Just received this email from Airfix...

We've been keeping a secret...

An announcement is on its way! Trust us when we say, this is not one you will want to miss.

The countdown is on! Stay tuned by subscribing to our YouTube Channel, where all will be revealed tomorrow at precisely 10:15AM.

Psst: Remember, extraordinary surprises are meant to be shared, so rally your fellow builders and spread the word far and wide!

Any ideas? 🤔
Best wishes

Whatever it turns out to be, I'm sure it's not going to help with me not adding to the stash.. .🤔

I just hope they're not announcing a change to biodegradable plastic 😲

Isn't the Sea King what Splash flew on ?

I thought this an interesting approach (to selling 4+ kits :) ".... this kit portrays the evolution of a single aircraft, from its inaugural flight to its current livery, rendering it truly one-of-a-kind."

Let's schedule a GB for 2025, it might be in the USA by then ....

I had the same thought regarding Splash as soon as I saw the announcement 😔

And +1 for a GB 👍
