Curt B Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hey All, Wondering what anyone can tell me about the recent Airfix Battle of Britain series models, in 1/48 scale. Is Airfix just trying to cash in on the Battle of Britain anniversary, but without doing anything different or better? I just saw in the new FineScale Modeler that they have a Hurricane Mk 1 out in that series, but the MSRP seems awfully steep ($60.50). I just recently completed an AIrfix 1/48 Hurricane Mk 1, the Tropical boxing, and I thought it was a very nice model, but I already have a bunch of aftermarket 1/48 Battle of Britain decals, plus another Airfix Tropical Hurricane (which can be built as the non-Tropical version) and that was the Hurricane I am planning to do as a BoB airplane. Am I missing anything in the BoB Series? It appears Airfix is doing a number of planes, both Brit and German in this series, but just wondering if there is anything more to these kits than just the nice box art and decals.

barkin mad Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 No, there's nothing extra in the box. Just standard kits with new decals. ---------------------- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
