1/48 sepecat Jaguar next please!!🤩🙏

Nice one lads - love the enthusiasm for the kit amongst the team and also the concept of following one airframe through its life. I hope it sells well 👍👍👍

What an entrance! 👍 Great video, and a brilliant looking new kit; I like the concept of the history of one particular airframe.... 🙂 Definite pre-order here... 😉👍

Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching 🙂

As a cornishman who lives a few hundred yards from Culdrose this is my dream kit. I can die a happy and content man now this kit is released an I can build it. I'm honestly considering buying four to build every option in the box, which I've never done before

I like how the video for a predominately Royal Navy Model starts with a phrase that has its derivation from the RN… referring to the ‘Cat o’nine tails’ a flogger for punishing sailors back in the day. When it came out of its storage bag it would be know as ‘letting the cat out of the bag’. 100% I’ll be building this having spent a lot of time in Sea Kings!

Yet shows us a *Royal Air Force version* (not included in the kit) landing....

It must be the HMS Warrior I have been asking them for for 8 years 😬😬🙏🏻

One of my all time favourite aircraft. I am genuinely looking forward to this kit. The professional builds look amazing.

Bravo Airfix… really nice looking details and love the schemes. Now that’s another kit on the wish list to buy. …. But please please please we NEED a new tooled SEPECAT Jaguar, preferably in 1/48 scale. The Jag has been very poorly represented in kit form. So please get to it. 👍👍👍🤓

What a really great video! The enthusiasm and pride in your beautiful kit shines through! I will enjoy this kit all the more knowing how much work and love went into it. Thanks, guys!

Fantastic, that's going to be a winner! Thank you Airfix!

Bravo Airfix. I love that you followed the airframe.

Fantabulous promo film, well done Airfix.

Wow! What a wonderful model. I'm waiting to have it! Congrats!

Fantastic news, Airfix! I am excited and cannot wait! 👍

It is a brilliant idea to follow an air-frame through the years. Thank you Airfix.

That looks great , love the lineup if the four varient schemes

What a informative production for a new kit release! Looks like you guys have a winner here! Well done!

Nice one Airfix, good delivery all round - looking forward to this build!

That is a lovely kit Airfix and you took me by surprise with this one 😀 Great unveiling as well as I have a soft spot for Historic Helicopters 👍

A great video and the kit looks like a winner. Well done Airfix

This team is so dedicated and passionate! I will get all the schemes one day. Thank you guys for improving Airfix so much!

Outstanding video chaps. Very well done.

Thank you kindly!

I recently built the 72nd scale Sea King and enjoyed that, and I like the idea of showing the evolution of one particular aircraft over the years. Might have to buy more than one of these!

Now that is how you do a new kit reveal. Love it.

Like a 1/24th scale Fairy Firefly.

Well done! 👏

I'm very much looking forward to building this amazing looking kit!

1/24 scale harrier gr9 would be nice, but a retooled p.1127 and GR5 would be HIGHLY appreciated. Would also love to see a hawker kestrel done.

Yup, i've been requesting a GR5/7/9 for many many years. then the after market companies would be in overdrive. imagine the possibilities T10, all AV-8B's

I thought you did a great job on this - informative, educational. I doubt if your designers/researchers 'Signed up' specifically to do 'Presenter/To camera' work, but they came across as natural and their enthusiasm shone through. I'm from the days of spending pocket money on 'Red Stripe Header Bags at the local Ironmongers! 😂 You've come a long way, Airfix - Bravo! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you Jim, we love our designers and we are so happy they had the chance to share their knowledge and experience on the development of the Sea King :)

Yep, that's exactly what I thought you'd be announcing. Looks great

a fab release this....always loved the seakings and in 1/48 scale thats my fav scale....i did buy the rescue version airfix 1/72 one...was so surprised to see this release...top stuff

Love the King. Have built all the 1/72 variants. This is a must have for me.

What a lovely and unique idea - following a single aircraft through its beginning to its current life, over 50 years of the airframe.

Thank you Airfix. More Helicopters would be greatly appreciated. The H-2 Seasprite in 1:48 and retool the 1:72. Anyway outstanding news.

superb keep them coming

Yeeeeees I'm so excited about this one!

Very nice video! Awesome job lads! 🤩

Congratulations ❤to you wonderful people from Airfix. What a fantastic surprise. We needed a new 1/48 Sea King, such a cool helicopter with so much history, in so many Countries. The presentation was also a nice surprise. I think you will be starting a lot of helicopter builds😄 Thank You👍

I did NOT see this one coming, nice one all you at Airfix! 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻😎 I didn't realise that I needed one, but....😉😆😂🥰😍😎

Hello from Cape Town South Africa - I'm a former Ops manager of the table bay CHC helicopters just before they closed shop and left SA. I absolutely adored the S-61n so this kit is super news for me. I just hope I can get one plus some extra bits to build my favourite machine ZS- RFU in the rounded CHC livery of the time. Epic video by the way, love that intro!

Great news, just today I had make a preorder from Hannants! Compliments guys!!!

Looking forward to this one. I love the single machine theme, especially the Portland one, which lives nearby to me. I wondered why you didn't do a yellow ASR but now I know why.

i will buy it as soon as possible..... looks awsome

Top marks to your marketing team - great presentation. In fact top marks all round. Not many people predicted a Sea King but they’ll buy it anyway based on this launch and the recent track record of fantastic quality new kits. Passion, dedication and quality oozing from Airfix!

DAMIAN! I got to work on that one in Depth Maintenance, I then got to work on it again when I joined 771 NAS. I’ll be getting getting one of these!

I'm fortunate to live by Culdrose in Cornwall so had years of seeing and hearing these aircraft almost daily. Lots of locals were sad when they ceased operation.

Great work Airfix! It's been really wonderful seeing this company going from what were quite mediocre kits, to some really fine gems. Just goes to show how the right kind of attitude can really make a difference. Just give us good quality qits that are well researched, not overly complicated to assemble, and we'll reward you with great sales. Seeing the enthusiasm of your employees also cannot go unnoticed and it also makes us very happy to know that real modelers were included in the development of this kit. I will be buying a few, definitely. Now, if I can suggest a Wessex, or a Phantom FG.1/FGR.2 in 1/48... :)

Puma definitely needed , and long overdue for a new Scout / Wasp

So glad you guys are doing this release format now. And what a beauty to do 666(daemon) is a legend. Please do a mk4 for the jungles and maybe a merlin mk1/2.

A 22 Squadron set of transfers would have been great too - as I've been flown in the one you see in this video, and 22 Sqn did great work in its rescue role, and finally featured a a certain high profile pilot. Well done to all who kept their lips sealed about this wonderful surprise.

Can´t wait for that one! :)

Well done @OfficialAirfix can’t wait to build this. Love the idea behind the 4 schemes, very unique. I am already excited about future boxings, maybe a Royal Australian Navy Mk.50A/B?

What.??????..Fantastic news and really had to be done by Airfix..Well here another for the pre-order gonna be ordered..(Can’t wait already for my Gannet and Ferret)..Well done Airfix.!.🇬🇧👍

Flory Models will be liking this 😊

God they going to twist my arm AGAIN to buy something. This'll be the fourth time in a month 🙄😉😉🤣

The Sea King was put together using dome head rivets. So why is the model covered in perforations?

It's the dead queen of course. She's dead and airfix dug her up and molded her to make a 1/1 scale queen.

This is great news👍

Awesome helicopter! I wish could sit in one

4 schemes and not one based in Scotland thanks Airfix!!

Scheme A is an absolute beaut

Very nice model airfix!!❤ the next will be the westland puma 1/48!!

Looks great! I hope someone comes out with the iconic SAR Golden Yellow scheme, although the included schemes are very impressive! I immediately ordered two following he surprise announcement!

Ok, well that's quite exciting. I was expecting yet another warbird that I only have a passing interest in, but the Seaking is one of my favourites and with the civil scheme as well, this is a no-brainer.

I'm really excited to see this. I've been waiting patiently for a new-tooled helicopter from Airfix. Personally, I prefer helicopters over fixed wing because they offer a greater challenge in terms of assembly and weathering. I hope Airfix continues to offer more 1/48 helicopters. Just imagine having a Wessex sitting next to one of these Sea Kings ;-)

Looks sensational, "Boy's Own" stuff to develop that, no doubt. Westland Wasp and Wessex next, please!

superb

Well done Team, a fantastic Premier and announcement 😀

Good choice and a great surprise!

What a great intro for a new kit. How'd you pull that off? Brilliant!

VERY LOVELY 😍

Nice surprise

Just what I have been waiting for!

Ooh. Exciting. 😊 It's a 1/24th scale Folland Gnat in Yellow Jack colours.

New tooled DH88 Comet....unlikely but we live in hope.

Fingers crossed for a 48th scale Vulcan? :P

It's an updated series of figures, made out of a plastic that you can actually use glue on... and which doesn't cause paint to crack and flake off when it's bent!!! Woo hoo!! About time!

Hi buddy,have you tried the Vallejo Mecha range for wargaming. Made more durable for model/ figures being handled for gaming purposes. Obviously bending will still be the problem but might survive better.

Will go with my yet to be built 1:48 Lynx …. 😊

😊definitely want an A and C scheme. Another one off my wish list. You done a blinding job on the 1/72 so this should be a Cracker. Be nice to hace 1/72 1/48 and a 1/24.🤔😉 1/24 Scout next

48th FGR1 or 2 and that's Airfix financially sound for the next 20 years or so 😃😃🤞🤞👍👍

I’m going to have to buy a new role of raffle tickets, so I can tell my wife ‘look what I just won at the monthly RBL raffle, yet again’. I ran out after the new Sea Fury 🤣🤣

@mh53j

There are several subtle differences between this and the HAR 3, including some of the antennas and the position of the refuelling port by the sliding cargo door (one underneath the door, other on the trailing edge). The antennas would be an easy fix, the refuelling port would probably require a new starboard fuselage half.

1/35 Humber Mk1 (Pig) for all of us ex 'Banner' squaddies?

Would love to see some US Navy schemes of H-3.

looks fantastic !....hopefully it will be downscaled to 1/72 also (y)

Now's a good time to bring out some 1/48 helicopter aircrew, which could be used for the Merlin and Lynx too.

I'm not much of a helicopter fan, but this will be an amazing piece in anyones display. Keep these " guess what's next " coming. Can't wait until you release the 1/35 Thornycroft Antar tank transporter and 1/24 Bolton Paul Defiant...Hint! Hint!

It looks great, however the moulding detail looks far too heavy especially after comparison with the real thing immediately before. Is it not possible to make rivets and panel lines scale accurate ? or is this not possible with the moulding process/ material choice. Sorry to say it ( love airfix), but others do it better, especially in 1/48 scale.

Please let it not be another bloody Spitfire or Mustang!
