Airfix 2015

I see Airfix are releasing the Vickers Vanguard in BEA livery and the Comet in the later BEA livery in 2015, wonder if the VC10 will be next :)

Yeah, about bloomin' time! I was really annoyed last year when their civil offerings were just repaints of the 737 and a 707! 8)

Hi Tony,

Unfortunately Airfix reworked the moulds when they changed the VC10 into a tanker. :'(

So they won't reissue the VC10 in civilian guise unless they start from scratch, which is possible, but unlikely. You can convert the tanker kit yourself, and after-market decals are available.
