Review by Kevin Ronayne on http://www.fortunecity.com/meltingpot/ This weapons set was issued around ten years ago. Like the Buccaneer kit, it is not currently a ‘live’ Airfx item, but you might still find it if you’re lucky. It is the only 1/72 weapon set that I know of that deals mainly with RAF aircraft – the Hasegawa modern weapons sets seem to be all US-centric. The Airfix set includes most weapons used on British jets over the last 25 years (regardless of where the weapons came from). Many of these are usable on US jets as well, and the instructions include a table indicating what stores can be used with what Airfix 1/72 scale jet kits (British, European and American aircraft). Some ‘standard’ items such as general-purpose bombs or rocket pods are excluded, as a ready supply of these can probably be built up with spares from a whole range of kits. ![]() The general quality of the set is very good – every item has a detailed painting guide and decal set, and many of the missiles and bombs have some or all of their fins supplied as photo-etched parts. Obviously, for some stores, the paint scheme may differ depending on the circumstances. For anyone wondering about what the set has to offer, here is a list of the contents:
