Airfix is to re-release its recently retooled 1/72 scale Dakota Mk. III next month [August] with a new set of markings including the rather attractive scheme of the RAFTC
”Douglas Dakota Mk.III A08015A is scheduled for an August 2018 release and will mark one of the most important aircraft to serve with the Royal Air Force in this, their significant centenary year. With two distinctly different RAF schemes to choose from, it will be interesting to see which one proves to be the most popular amongst the build pictures uploaded to the Customer Images section of the Airfix website, in the months following its release.”

Good to see Airfix is getting mileage out of this kit. I have built it, and it is a great kit. Some of these new marking options are making it attractive to want to buy and build another. Thanks Tim!
