"Airfix is the oldest UK manufacturer of scale plastic model kits and has been producing kits for the mass market since 1952." You used to be able to find this sentence every where you would find Airfix- when asked who we were, this was our default response. Factually, it is correct. We are the oldest UK manufactuer of scale plastic model kits, but that's not why you should trust us with your hobby. That explains what we do, but not why we do it. Airfix is home to a team of people who work tirelessly; be it researching potential products, designing your favourite models, building and rebuilding to ensure perfection, writing blogs to keep you company in the quiet, laughing along with you on social media, supporting you on the forums or solving your problems on the phone. We come into work every day ready to go above and beyond for our customers and our brand because we believe in it and all it has to offer. We think modelling offers a great escape from screens and allows you to 'switch off'. We have found love and laughter in sharing in your modelling memories; the greatests hits and the hardest misses. We feel immense pride watching you all rise to every challenge we present, without hesitation. And we love knowing that we're feeding creativity everywhere. At Airfix, passion drives everything that we do. It ensures that our horizons remain broad and the skies will always be limitless. We refuse to simply rest on the laurels of being the oldest brand- we will always strive to be the best brand, above all, for you. Where it all began... Our story begins in 1939, London. With the world on the cusp of war, Hungarian refugee Nicholas Kove created the first iteration of Airfix, a company which at the time manufactured rubber inflated toys. Kove had become a keen businessman in the years since he’d left Hungary so when it came to choosing a name for his new venture, he combined the process of fixing air into products, with his belief that all successful companies should have their names at the beginning of business directories. Thus, Airfix was born! The last 70 years... Airfix is the oldest UK manufacturer of scale plastic model kits and has been producing kits for the mass market since 1952. Although you might know us best for our iconic aircraft models, the last few years have been a journey of discovery and exploration for us in terms of branching out into other products. Since teaming up with Humbrol, we’ve really focused on arming our modellers with everything they might need to create their own little world. We’ve found great success with our own plastic figures, buildings, and diorama kits. We’ve even taken on the challenge of replicating some of history’s most beautiful ships and vehicles, resulting in an incredibly diverse range of products. Perhaps one of our most exciting ventures has been the development of the Quickbuild brand, a range of brick-based models with no glue or paint needed! It’s been the perfect introduction to modelling for many beginners looking to join our community and is expanding all the time! Review: Great Spitfire kit - Another cracking kit from Airfix but not without it's issues. The undercarriage joint is poor but the fix is well documented online. Build it and enjoy it.... Review: Brilliant kit for all levels, low parts for beginners and high detail - This version of the airfix spitfire in 72nd scale is probably airfixes best, separate mold for all the intakes gives great detail and good detail on the cockpit for the scale. Clear parts are decent not the best but pretty good. All the parts have a good fit and require little filler. However I found the cartograph decals a bit thick and took a few passes of solvent to get the larger ones to conform properly. This might be an issue for beginners. But if you have decal solvents it’s no problem. The only big gripe I have is that on the reference they give for the identifier scheme in the bottom of the aircraft (the black and white) it only shows the wings having this scheme when in reality the whole lower of the aircraft had this scheme including the stabilizers, any refrerence picture shows this and I’m not sure how airfix got this wrong. Overall if you do your research and take time with the decals it’s a brilliant 72nd scale spitfire kit probably the best in this price range. Only having Edward or tamiya models be better out of the box but those kits usually run more than double the price. Can’t really go wrong for the price! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 8 years.
