Airfix Facebook page says "BIG" announcment at Telford

[tdm34]

Airfix Facebook page is saying they have a "BIG" announcement on Saturday at Telford......


Anyone got any ideas...... Hello Lufbramatt, calling Lufbramatt!

[Eric Mc]

They've sacked their panel line engraver?

Or - more serious guess - they are moving mainstream kit production back to the UK?

[Zad]

That would be good news. They might have decent control over their own production then. Or maybe the emphasis is on HUGE, and they are doing a 1/12th scale Lightning.

[Yertis]

Or a 1/24th Lancaster, to compliment the Mosquito.

[Skodaku]

Or being purchased by Tamiya ?

Sorry. Hat. Coat.

[lufbramatt]

I know exactly what it will be, and it's going to be good :-)

Oh and I'm doing a talk in the lecture theatre on Saturday afternoon if anyone's interested...

[CobolMan]

The 1/24th jet that's been mentioned over on Britmodeller?

Clue, for us PHers come on...... please....

[lufbramatt]

Lol no, not even a little hint :-P

[mybrainhurts]

I know this...

It's a 1:1 kit of Adolf Hitler, complete with one missing bk, but no swastika 'cos the Germans wouldn't buy it.

Sorry to let it out of the bag...

I've heard it's not a jet, but a little bird tells me it may be
A Sea Fury......

Because their workshop at Rochester airport is a 5 minute walk from my house

Yep, they're a nice bunch, a few of them go to my local model club (Medway Modelling Club) hence the invite to come have a look what they were up to- although anyone can visit. Think they're open on weds and sunday mornings.

1/24 scale B52? "Clear the dining room love its a big one!"

Any idea what time your talk is at? I'll endeavour to get to it.

I attended a couple of the talks last year and they were very interesting.

[lufbramatt]

Think it's 2pm Eric, but I will confirm. Trevor Snowden is on just before us.
