It looks like there will be some production in model kits. But a snap together Dr Who?

Boy, it would be nice to have ALL the Airfix 1/32nd scale stuff back in production. The Multipose were re-released a couple years ago, before the receivership along with the Crusader III. It would be nice to see the others back within easy reach again; the M3 Lee, the Grant (both of which were slightly nicer than many of the 1/35th versions), Rommels SdKfz 250 halftrack, Monty's Humber and especially the 17-pounder AT gun and crew. Reportedly the molds for the 17-pounder were lost/damaged - from what I have seen it was a nice kit.
I sometimes wonder what else they had planned to add to the line. Too bad Tamiya and Italeri won the "battle of scales" and 1/35 became the tank model scale.

Damian,
Thanks for posting the link.
I almost bought the Airfix DAK and EA multipose kits when I was recently in the UK but had to decide not to on this occasion due to lack of space in my luggage. Next time - for sure.
Cheers
