AIRFIX GOES HIGH-TECH FOR NEW 2015 KITS


AT THE 2014 IPMS SCALE MODELWORLD SHOW Airfix released details of a new super-accurate laser scanning system for creating data used to create upcoming model kits.



The shots here are taken from a fascinating cgi animation of the 1:72 scale Heinkel He 111 expected on release in 2015. It looks a winner, and it will be interesting to see if the final kit reproduces dings and dents so common in combat aircraft of the era.
