Hornby: A Model World

The second series of this excellent programme starts on the 9th January - I think it's the Yesterday Channel.

Thanks for the heads-up, Iain

Should be well worth a peek

Thanks, I am wondering how it fits into the annual Airfix announcement of new releases.

There was a piece on BBC Breakfast earlier in the week about a revival of scale model making, due to pandemic and how it was helping people with mental health issues, and they were at the Airfix factory showing off the new 1/24th scale Spitfire.

Radio 5 also had a piece the other day. An under 30 female post-goth punk singer (I didn’t understand that either) who volunteers at RAF Hendon and got into aircraft and model making a couple of years ago. Articulate and sold the hobby well.

1/24th Spitfire

No way would SWMBO allow me to have that in our house

Wonder if that means one of the new 2023 releases is shown - ahead of the big anounce Tue 10th 1600?
