The best-known and most important manufacturer of plastic model
kits in the UK, Airfix has been at the forefront of the industry
since 1955 when the first Airfix aircraft kit appeared in UK
branches of Woolworth's. 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 1981 the famous London-based company closed
down and only the kits survived intact. For the next twenty-five
years Airfix was run by Palitoy and later Humbrol, but suffered
from a lack of investment. In 2006, Hornby Hobbies Ltd, the train
and Scalextric manufacturer, bought the ailing company and
transformed it. 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 to coincide
with the sixtieth anniversary of the first Airfix aircraft kit,
Sixty Years of Airfix Models, tells the full story, year by year,
of the company and its products.
