Under the ownership of Hornby Hobbies Ltd, the Airfix brand sits comfortably with the other well known brands of Hornby (train sets) and Scalextric (slot car racing). In 2008 Airfix have released many new Military Aircraft kits. These include the Fairey Fulmer MkI/II, a carrier-bourne fighter aircraft, and the Hawker Tempest V. There's new subjects in 1:72, 1:48 and 1:24 and a return of some favourites, but with a new fresh look including in most cases updated decal schemes and options.
Aircraft have always been an important part of the Airfix range and 2008 sees a huge number of subjects added to delight and inspire modellers of all ages and skill levels. Whether it be WWII, cold war, jet or piston engine, you'll find something on one of these shelves. |
