Matt Roberts Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) http://www.britmodeler.com/forums/index.ph...c=8044&st=0 Somewhere in here is news about possible 48th scale Lynxes. Considering that Hornby has only had Airfix for less than a year I find it amazing that they have this aggressive of a releases schedule in store for 2008, but fingers are crossed, as I'd love to do a sub hunting Lynx Second page around the middle. From what is hinted at they are in conjunction with Italeri. Matt P.S. just try and ignore the Jessica Alba underwater footage...I dare ya!

ChernayaAkula Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 New 1/48 Lynx? Cool! :) Jessica Alba underwater footage? :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graham T Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Don't know about Lynx's although they would be nice but there was a TV programme a month or so ago about the "rebirth" of Airfix under the Hornby banner which contained footage of Trevor Snowden measuring up a Royal Navy Sea King. Airfix already produce a 1/72 model of this machine, so....?????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 But wasn't the Airfix Sea King an old kit when I built one in '82 around the time of the Falklands? Loads o'raised rivets on that one. The newer RoG 72nd Sea King seams a nice kit though I am not sure if you can do a FAA version from it. A 48th Commando/Sea King (with the AEW version to go with a possible 48th Gannet AEW!) would be nice and possibly even allow for US versions to be kitted - Airfix RAF/FAA and Italeri the USN versions maybe? It will be interesting to see how thier release schedule for new molds turns out. Sounds like they are almost thinking Chinese if the projections turn out to be true.

jaydar Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 New 1/48 Lynx? Cool! :) Jessica Alba underwater footage? I didn't find any links to either the Jessica Alby footage or the Airfix news other than just gab. Did I miss something? joe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 I didn't find any links to either the Jessica Alby footage or the Airfix news other than just gab.Did I miss something? joe. Look for Oshers posts, his 'footer' (Post #47!) The people seem to be talking about news from Hornby reps and preorder forms for the 72nd Canberras and a huge Mosquito. The Lynx info has been bubbling under the surface since Humbrol bought the brand. If true it makes sence why we'd not seen an Italeri Lynx in 48th before now. Now From what I gather the 'official' news won't be until the Londoy Toy Fair in January or at least until after the New Year for 'official' news. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oddly enough, those little video clips didnt show til I logged in. Actually, none of the sigs showed up til I logged in. As a side note, I've heard somewheres that it isnt's Jessica Alb in those seens, but a body double. Edited December 27, 2007 by Charlie Cheetah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 I didn't find any links to <...> the Jessica Alby footage <...> I didn't either. So I guess my reaction was more of a reflex! :( <...> I've heard somewheres that it isnt's Jessica Alb in those seens, but a body double. You mean there's another body like that on this earth? ;) :o Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sealeopard Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 The Sea King is being re-tooled (again) to do an HAS5/6/AEW2 version. You mean. like the Revell Germany one I've had in my stash for some years now, but not as good and (probably) more expensive? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
