OK I had to look this up and I have to ask one question - Why?? Yes it had a long life and over 1800 where built but its not one I’d have thought off the top of my head, let alone ask anyone to make a kit. I have to say if this is the way Airfix are going I still have hope for an Avro Manchester from a main manufacturer.
Then there is a BIG one, its back in 1/24 but as a new variant the Mosquito FB VI, so if you missed out last time, but you’ll have to wait till October
I like the re issues of some of their 1/32 stuff, the Crusader III and 17 pdr. And the RAF ground crew is good accessory stuff for aircraft vignettes or dioramas in that scale. As for why the Whitley? Well to me, its’ association with the Paras from Bruneval at least thru Overlord is a good enough reason for me IF I was still building Braille scale stuff…,
The Shackleton is one of my favorite aircraft of all-time. So happy to hear of a new tool version in the pipeline after about 50 years of the Frog mould being passed around. Of course, I have a Revell, 3 Novos and a Gerald Elliott MR.3 Shackletons (to go along with two Aeroclub MR.2 conversion kits that cost me a pretty penny), but I’ll definitely be ponying up for at least one (if not more) of that new Airfix kit this time next year.
