Apologies for the scale heresy here, but I just heard that Airfix will be re-releasing their 1/76 Vickers light Tank later this year.

I have been trying to decide whether to build my couple of vintage Matildas as BEF or Russian Lend-Lease. Looks like France 1940 it will be now they can have some company  :)

Cheers,
Pete

1/76 re-releases for 2026 also include the GB Models Saracen, Robin Hood set, Romans, and the classic Roman fort set, and a fleet of 1/600 WW2 warships.

Depressingly Airfix seems to have long since abandoned 1/72\1/76 vehicle new toolings, which is what we really want. Still, fans of aircraft in 1/71, 1/48 and 1/24 will be happy.
