1/72 Vehicles - new tooling
Bomber re-supply set. This is possibly the most exciting release, including as it does the much coveted bomb trolleys and tractor (like the ones which came with the Stirling bomber kit), a maintenance tower, various bombs, a Bedford MWC/MWD truck and a Standard 'Tilly'. The provisional box art also shows a fuel trailer. Worth £16.99 of anyone's money? Probably.
Some old chums reappear in the 1/72 and 1/32 figure ranges, including WW2 Aussies, Russians, Gurkhas and NATO ground crew in the smaller scale and SAS and WW2 Japanese in the latter.

1/72 Russians are back? Yeah! One of my first sets. Whatever nice things one can say about all the newer ones, I may need one out of pure nostalgia.
good news :)

Good to see that Airfix are re-releasing there ANZAC's, even if I have enough ANZAC's!

Oddly enough I never had the Russians 'first time around'. Not a bad set though.

A nice set as I recall.
I got Russians and Confederates one year for Christmas. After a quick consultation with older brother, the Confederates became Hungarian rebels for the next few days.

Inspired use of the figures! That explains a lot......
My original 'strongpoint' was extensively fought over using the old Paragon 54mm skirmish rules back in the 1970s. I wonder where it went?
The RAF bombing up set looks great.

I never had the 1/32 Strongpoint but if I ever see it for significantly less that Airfix's suggested £20 I may well be tempted.
The Australian Infantry in 1/72nd or HO/OO or 1/76 (delete as applicable) caught mt eye as an interesting re-release
I must pick up a Val before they disappear

As mentioned already, the Aussies are a good set. I've never built the Val, so it'll be interesting to see how you get on.
You forgot they key notice here; twenty new Humbrol matt enamel colours !
(including the re-release of 173 track colour)
Get your priorities right!
