Origin of Airfix 1/72 F-117 and F-22 Molds?

As far as i know, the last of airfix own kits where the harrier over 10 years ago. The may be italeri kits.

Roger con't be so rude the three kits you're talking about are 1/48, not

The F-22 is not the Italeri, if I correctly recall is a prototype and not an Raptor, no idea for the f-117.

You're right about 1:48 i think but he was talking about 1:72. But it's still sad that Airfix can't keep up the good work on the budget market, for instance. I just finished 2 Harrier gr3 in 1:72 and they are lightyears from the Hasegawa i'm used to, but that's what so fun about it.

I just finished the Airfix F-117 today,and can't for the life of me tell where the molds originated,not having built most of the recent kits.But if anything it looks like an Italeri kit. I also did a quick build of the ancient AMT kit,which I bought in 1988 and forgot I had! It barely even looks like a 117...made a good excuse to do the Israeli style camouflage.

I picked up one for free a couple months ago. I see an F-117B in the future. Kim M

Please don't confuse me being abrupt and to the point with being rude. I speak directly, I call a spade a spade, I have little time for diplomacy, I say what needs to be said. Sometimes my direct nature does upset people but I find that it's the best approach and I live with that.

All the best

The Airfix F-117 and F-22 are their own original tooling, and not the Italeri kits reboxed.

The Airfix kits were also rereleased by Heller.

The F-117 and F-22 are their own tooling. Airfix have since done new kits like the Jaguar, Buccaneer, Spitfire 22 and Hawk, albeit 1/48 - but there is the 1/72 Concorde for this year!

What!!!! WHERE??? pleasePleasePLEASE show me a link! Kim M

Its on the Hannants web site

If that true, then I was wrong. A company like Airfix, that means so much for so many, have to keep up the pace and reastablish it self as a leading manufactor. and show all the new eastern europeean companies that western europe is the same as quality...
