Airfix is the oldest British plastic model kit manufacturer being at the same time the brand which created the modelling world.

Many generations of modellers were raised building their kits. They currently immortalised their old sets in a "Vintage Classics" line, while all their current releases are newly designed model kits. Airfix, through its model kits, tries to reach out to every modeller: for the beginners a broad selection of starter sets and 1/72 scale planes which are very well detailed and with a good parts fit, for advanced builders - bigger 1/72 and 1/48 sets which have much bigger part count and the quality of all their kits is on par with the world's leading manufacturers. Airfix focuses mainly on aircraft model kits though they are also expanding their armoured vehicles product line.
