I don't know what the supply situation is elsewhere, but finding the newer Airfix releases locally is often difficult. I could probably find them online without much effort, but I much prefer to get whatever I can at one of the two remaining B&M shops here in town.
I may have to rethink that for the short term, at least where Airfix is concerned.
