No, the entire Airfix business is a work of fiction, pretending to sell model kits.

Just the thing for anyone who has ever wished they could spend a night with a model.

Damn. It's like Amazon with morals.

From their latest email - some good kits added today, Friday. The big 1/24th Stuka (574mm wingspan) & Hurricane @ £39.99 delivered - as over £30, saving £25 & £15 respectively. Also the 1/24th Typhoon at £69.99 saving £30. (F.Y.I. my earlier order from Monday evening, so really Tuesday arrived safely by courier today.)

They added some new lines yesterday. RE: the post about getting out more, fresh air is good as it exercise (and I'd recommend both as one of the best things you can do to improve your health), but on a cold winters night that's not always practical.

I built models with my father, the skills I learnt as a kid doing that have translated very nicely to DIY nowadays and as a result I rarely have to pay trades people to undertake work for me. So for kids I see no harm in these, they're quite educational, as is the history behind some of the planes. For an adult (who spends most of their day in front of a PC for work) not looking at a screen of some variety is quite refreshing I'd imagine.

So you felt the need to insult everybody else also? I'm not sure what your issue is, in an age where millions of people sit on the couch all day shooting Russians in the face on Call of duty etc, this kind of hobby that teaches some genuine skills and even social interaction should probably be encouraged rather than mocked.

I think you were trying to be the smart ass with your retort to my initial comment. So sit down sunshine.

Because going on the Internet to try and be a smart ass is the pinnacle of your busy and fulfilling social life?

What I meant is, you should all get out more.

Yep I've got a Vulcan to build too, along with a Spitfire, Focke Wulf, Euro Fighter and a couple of others

I didn't spot the Victor was a 2016 pre order! I might have just about made my Spitfire by then :stuck_out_tongue:

Knew I shouldn't have waited, HMS Illustrious now out of stock.

Some real bargains this time around, thanks op, must resist and start building more of the huge stash I already have though... But the Javelin is cheap.. and the Merlin... It's an illness! have some heat.

Thank you! Ordered few bits for my son!

Tempted by the HMS Illustrious, hell of a saving.

Javlin, snatch Land Rovers, and Supacat Coyote on their way! Nice one OP :smile:

Great presents for people you don't like children. You know the adults will have to build them.

Just the thing for anyone who has ever wished they could spend a night with a model.

Many thanks OP. Ordered loads!

Sorry miss read what you said.

Thanks for this, couple of gifts sorted for my boys!

Surprisingly a Javelin, Gnat and Spitfire Vb are on their way....to the loft with the rest!

Must build more quickly. Jadlam are also giving 25% off everything as well.

this is not going to help my addiction to grey plastic things. But the new tool 1/48 spitfire, for a fiver is just far too tempting.

Its awesome, looks like something from Flash Gordon!

A cracker. Got the Revell/Matchbox kit somewhere, love the Victor. And it was designed in the early/mid 50's !!! ps estimated arrival is 30/11/2016 :-(

Only one tank and it's American :disappointed:

:man:

Never built an airfix in my life but i'm bloody tempted!

Nice one OP. Xmas presents ordered

I'm quite tempted by that, but I should build the Vulcan first.

Do people still do these??

Kindly position your throat directly in front of Airfix then...........and they probably STILL won't try to ram it down it...

Now I mention it, are any of these on Amazon Prime?

I want my free 30 day Airfix Prime trial!

Spend £30 for free delivery though.

Those are amazing prices. Great kits too.

I quite fancy one of these: http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/handley-page-victor-b2-1-72.html but as a pre order, it's obviously not in any sale and £55 for a model seems pretty steep. Plus the Mrs will kill me if I buy any more airfix models, I've got a fair few with a grand total of zero made!

Are they still making this - http://www.airfix.com/uk-en/shop/black-friday-sale/bamboo-house-1-32.html . I remember building this 30 odd years ago... Hasn't changed a bit...

Some excellent reductions - thx OP

website looks to be down at the moment
