Airfix Models

Airfix is the oldest UK manufacturer of scale plastic model kits and has been producing kits for the mass market since 1952.  Airfix produces a wide range of kits aimed at all types of scale modellers with subjects such as military aircraft, civil aircraft, ships, galleons, cars, space, figures, dioramas and military vehicles.

Airfix was founded in 1939 by Nicholas Kove, a refugee from Hungary who originally manufactured rubber inflated toys. After trading hands and designs many times, in 2006 Hornby Hobbies Ltd bought both the Airfix and Humbrol brands and have been dedicated to their revitalization ever since.
