This is a video of the CAD behind the design of the new 1:24th scale mosquito from Airfix, it shows how the parts go together and the way the kit has been designed so that any version of the mosquito should be fairly easy to produce in future. It's the same video that was on display on the Airfix stand at SMW last November but for those that haven't seen it it's quite interesting.

Also there are some shots of an early test shot here as well as some more new airifx shots - the 1:48th Sea Vixen has moved into 2nd place on my wish list (Just after the aforementioned Mossie although I've no idea where I'll put it!)

Can't say for certain but all the older 1:24th scale kits did so I would be very surprised if not.

There's now a build thread going on Britmodeller, I think it's by Spencer Pollard, looking good so far.
