Airfix Destroyers are back
Posted by: I Stapley ()

Airfix have re released their destroyers as a boxed set. Retailing for about £10 the set comprises HMS Cossack, HMS Hotspur, HMS Campbeltown and a German "Narvik" destroyer.

OK these may not be the state of the art toolings we have come to expect but at the equivalent of £2.50 a model are well worth picking up. It could act as a spur to younger modellers to get into warships.

I have seen the three British ships before but I didn't know Airfix made a German destroyer. Judging by the box lid it is the early type that was deployed in Narvik as it has two turrets forward instead of the large twin turret of the Z 38 class.

I presume the models are the full hull type as before but with a little care and patience, could be cut down to waterline configuration.

Anybody know if Airfix is going to re release HMS Manxman?
