Sixty Years of Airfix Models - Brook Jeremy
Airfix has been at the forefront of the model industry since 1955 when the first Airfix aircraft kit appeared in UK branches of Woolworth's. In 1981 the famous London-based company closed down and only the kits survived intact. The kits were made to a constant scale and covered a wide variety of subjects, from aircraft to birds and from tanks to dinosaurs.
In 2006, Hornby Hobbies Ltd, the train and Scalextric manufacturer, bought the ailing company and transformed it. For the next twenty-five years Airfix was run by Palitoy and later Humbrol, but suffered from a lack of investment. Money and resources were ploughed into the range, and today Airfix releases around twenty new kits per year, designed to an incredibly high standard.
The old kits of the 1950s and 1960s are gradually being replaced by new state-of-the-art tooling, all bearing that most prestigious name - Airfix. Published
