Airfix: Celebrating 50 Years of the Greatest Modelling Kits Ever Made

by Arthur Ward

This gloriously illustrated, large-format volume celebrates 50 years of Airfix plastic modeling kits. Hundreds of superb color photos show all the obscure and highly collectible kits, as well as the best-sellers, with illustrations of packaging, box art, advertisements from Airfix magazine, and a mass of period ephemera. The lively text charts the rise, fall, and rise again of Airfix models. It's a nostalgic reminder of kits long vanished, but with a happy ending: Airfix is now re-releasing 40 kits a year, bringing back some models not seen in two decades. Airfix has all the information important to collectors, from complete range listings to production dates.
