Airfix have just announced their new tool range for 2025, and there are some great subjects. Aircraft noted below, and there are also new space craft, and 1/35th scale military vehicles.

In 1/72nd scale :- Westland Wessex HC.2 . Messerschmitt Me.410. Consolidated B-24D.

In 1/48th scale :- Sepecat Jaguar GR.1/GR.1A. Fairey Gannet COD 4. Spitfire Tr.9. Spitfire Mk.IXe.

As stated, these are all new tool, and not re-issues of previous kits, and all look very well detailed. The Spit Tr.9 is particularly welcome, as I've been trying to find an out of production conversion kit for some time and, with some alterations, I will now be able to model the "Grace" Spitfire in 1/48th scale.
Further (illustrated) details can be found on the Airfix web site, and at Jadlam Models.
 
A couple of pics of the Spit Tr9 and box art, available May this year, UK price £26.95.

EDIT:- Price corrected from £29 to £26.95.

Yep, a tad pricey, but very nicely detailed. I'm slightly tempted, but I already have the earlier Airfix/Heller kit, and the 1970'a ESCI kit in my stash, along with some after market goodies for them.
Bit strange the the Spit Mk.!Xe costs more than the Spit. Tr9.
 
But nice to have a 2 seater from a mainstream producer.
BTW, the Jaguar is "only" £53.95 at Jadlam Models ............
