Posted 8th November. More interesting would be to see what kits results, especially as news updates from 20th November said they were cancelling new kits: link 'Unfortunately yesterday Airfix announced that they had cancelled all of their planned World War I figure and battle sets. Whether they will return to making figures in the future is not known, but this news will disappoint many who like us were looking forward to seeing Airfix become a strong player in the hobby once more.'

OK, the news update from 20 November confuses the issue. The OP's links are to WWII aircraft. The 19 November news is for WWI. So, are ALL new kits and sets cancelled, or just WWI? This link indicates that the aircraft mentioned by the OP are coming in 2015: link

I'm confused too. I understand that those would be released in 2015. Amicalement Armand

Well, Airfix says this : link And this is their diorama sets from the 2015 catalogue : link No WWI

Oh, and it rather looks as if the Italian Infantry set is going to be dropped soon : link

Seems like a lot of trouble to plan and announce new releases, only to cancel them. Wonder who is working overtime to come up with that brilliant marketing plan?
