Devastator and Corsair would be nice.

I was hoping Airfix might pop out a few more of their BE2 kits, as I missed it when it came out. Otherwise there is nothing much there of interest to me except possibly the P.1127 and HMS Ajax. They might make nice nostalgia builds as I had them as a kid. IIRC my Ajax was eventually 'sunk' by naval air rifle fire.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

I watched Airfix's announcement on YouTube the other night. The new Shannon Class and re-released Severn Class lifeboats caught my eye for something a bit different for the modelling shelves.
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Agree on the lifeboat, I've been putting one off for years, no reason, just "off" ...

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Agree, IMO a missed opportunity as the aircraft and the kit would have made a nice little product line on their own, at least to the pre-spitfire folks.
