![]() Colour guide Decal placement Having seen the sprues it is petite and delightful. Not (yet, anyways) doing a Reds or Yellowjacks scheme is imaginative and bold. A lot of us 'certain age' old gits will enjoy the silver and orange scheme. Can't wait to get one. If there's any justice, then they ought to release one in 1/48. peebeep |

Quite pleased about the scheme tbh though guess there may be some disappointed. Any idea of a release date please Paul? I hate Airfix atm Stringbag out soon + Angels Interceptor = having to spend money and add to the stash. It is against my principles as I am supposed to be on a diet.

Airfix on Facebook are showing some signed Adam Toobey prints available at SMW including the Gnat boxart, a stunning picture of the Gnat gone vertical. Looks even more impressive the right way up and with the extra space available on the print! ![]() Edited by Walrus, Nov 8 2011, 04:13 PM.

I hope they do it in 1/48 as well but I always have the Aeroclub kit to fall back on if they dont.

Q. Is this an all 'new' kit or a reissue.... I ask as I have, I'm sure, an old Airfix Gnat in my stash somewhere which if I recall correctly came with Red Arrows decals. I opened it fully intending to build the model (to go with a Red Arrow Hawk I had finished) but the tail fin was like a banana... I haven't looked at hat kit again so a nice crisp clean new kit would be very welcomed and I'd buy two so I could build that RA version I so nearly started all those years ago. |

All new, the sprues were available for inspection at Yeovilton the other week and it blows the old kit completely into the weeds. peebeep |

Remember that Hu.209 is cellulose-based, and that the real colour faded rapidly! |

No, it isn't. Just popped the lid on a pot and tried it. It's an enamel, just like the rest of the enamel range. |
