Airfix 2018 figures 1/32nd???? (1 Viewer)

[9thHussar]

Hi

anyone heard if Airfix have plans to reissue the 1/32nd sets of figures?

Thinking more of the 4 x Waterloo sets and 7th Cavalry maybe - possibly???

I think they issue details on their website in early January.

cheers

That would be great!

Sounds like a good lineup to me

Wasn't there a story going around that the 1/32 figure line was being discontinued?

 

[THE SHOOTIST]

I heard that "Hannets?", who supposedly owned Airfix, was going to no longer produce the figures, and was going to "focus on" plastic model kits. The figures were going to be produced by a Chinese company under a different name. But, I may be mistaken.

Hornby is the current owner.

Thanks. I see on the CTS website they're offering Airfix/Marx Russians, from China. Supposedly "smaller", with some of the detail being lost.

AIRFIX figures are dime a dozen.
But, if you are a completionist like I am, be aware that certain individual figures have never been reissued and should be acquired aggressively.

And the ITALIAN INFANTRY of course!!

Hi Shootist,
The reason they are " smaller and with some of the detail being lost " is due to the fact that the new molds/casting forms are made from copies of a already exisitng set ( injected piece ) and when the new mold is made some of the " sizing is lost" as well as the finner details to the uniform, webbing gear and weapon´s finner details....It is a pitty that new masters are not being created from casts and from them the creation of the production molds....

AGREED.
That's my point. Just buy originals off ebay, a dime a dozen and you'll get the discontinued poses also.

cant see any 1/32nd for 2018 - just a few in 1/72nd reissues

got a set of 7th Cavalry picked up cheap at a toy fair a few years ago which needs painting.

There are NO 54mm / 1/32nd scale figures from Airfix this year.
All sets have been dropped and the 1/76 scale is much reduced

Guys, relax.
Ebay, has everything ARFIX has ever released for all time.
The world is in no shortage of AIRFIX 1:32.

I have been waiting for years for the above to be reissued And NO they are NOT on ebay.

I wish I lived in the UK. EBay is full of painted Airfix figures being modified by a university student and they look fantastic.

 

[Plastic General]

Italians are right now AND the very first (RARE) Brit Para set RIGHT NOW!
on Ebay!
