At Previews 2010 we were intoduced to the new flagship set from Airfix the 1:24 scale De Havilland Mosquito. As well as being the largest set they have ever done, excluding the 1:1 scale Spitfire that James May constructed of course, it could be decorated in the Banff Strike Wing livery which is right on our doorstep! So as you can appreciate it held an even more special place on our shelves.
During Previews this year, we were sitting down for dinner across from Darrell Burge, Marketing Manager for Airfix, and after a very interesting conversation about their plans for this year obviously the Mosquito came into conversation and you could see the lightbulb illuminate above his head. The next morning we headed to the Hornby factory to pick up so last mintue paperwork to be greeted by Malcolm Edwards, our Hornby/Scalextric Rep, with a proposition. Would we be interested in taking a photo with the Mosquito they had made up in the trade showroom painted in the Banff Strike Wing livery. Naturally we jumped at the chance as you can see below. As well as having the picture for this blog it was also on the Airfix facebook and twitter pages.
We also have twitter at @megamodelshop and also a facebook fan page which you can either locate on our website or clicking this link. If you wish to purchase this kit please click here to buy.
