Airfix 2011 releases

A CAD image is included showing the tank with something like a Cullen hedge cutter (?)

Also other items doubtless of interest, such as the now-notorious (at least in the British media) Snatch Land Rover in a twin pack.

Hi Matthew

its always good to see a new Braille Scale release

I wont be buying one, only because its 1/76th and not of a subject that I want to build an example of.

but its sure to be welcomed by many small scale modellers.

cheers
Neil

Hi Matt. I've not long purchased their Bedford Set so I can't wait for this Cromwell! Nice to see some more British Armour in Braille scale.

I'm not really into 1/76 either, but that is one sweet looking CAD and I hope the kit turns out looking as nice

This is the best news I've had in ages - it certainly beats yet another 1/72 Tiger or Panther, let alone the paper Panzers that leave me cold

The only problem I have is the fact that I've spent hard-earned modelling money on resin and white metal Cromwells - let's hope they're compatible with the Airfix Cromwell
