New Airfix kits for 2004

Good Gravy! Just how much money am I going to have to hide from SWMBO to get a 1/72 Concorde? That should be one basically unhideable box, too.

"SWMBO"?

By chance, are you a faithful listener of a certain Atlanta-based radio personality?

:o)

Re-Boxing Kitech kits? Oh how the mighty have fallen, Still I`ll most likely buy the rest though.

Not the Italeri kits then? Airfix have reboxed a lot of these in the past few years.

SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed (your wife in other words).

Airfix used to have their own boxing og the DUKW years ago. I remember building it.

English??? Leo McKern was an Australian! If he wasn't dead already the shock of this might have been enough to kill him!

This is true but he played a character written by John Mortimer who is decidedly English.

Originally one of the native titles for the immortal Ayshea, shortened to give the title of the first novel in which she appeared: H. Rider Haggard's "She".

Regards,

They are in fact Kitech re-boxes (£8.99 retail!), straight from the horses mouth. I had a meeting with Airfix on Friday. They're also doing a D-Day set for £29.99 including 10 models (aircraft, military vehicles) and the Gun Emplacement, seems good value. Apparently they've spent £750k on new tooling this year.

The whole Heller catalogue will be available in the UK this year as well.

Very interesting, but who on earth are Kitech?

See here

but I'm still none the wiser.

beats the hell out of that SO pc crap. (signifigant other my ass.)

Right....I was just asking, since (in this area, at least), it is such a seldom-heard expression, but the afore-mentioned radio personality (

), uses it frequently. I was wondering if it had any effect on the public lexicon....

I think you'll find that Kitech used to call themselves Zhengdhefu

so what you're saying is,as bad as most people say old airfix kits are,they are gems in comparison?

Hear, hear. Although most Septics seem to think that culture is something you find in yoghurt....

Now that's a VERY scary thought....the mighty have indeed fallen.
