The last 70 years.....

Airfix is the oldest UK manufacturer of scale plastic model kits and has produced kits for the mass market since 1952. Although you might know us best for our iconic aircraft models, the last few years have been a journey of discovery and exploration for us in terms of branching out into other products.

Since teaming up with Humbrol, we’ve really focused on arming our modellers with everything they might need to create their own little world. We’ve found great success with our own plastic figures, buildings, and diorama kits. We’ve even taken on the challenge of replicating some of history’s most beautiful ships and vehicles, resulting in an incredibly diverse range of products.

Perhaps one of our most exciting ventures has been the development of the Quickbuild brand, a range of brick-based models with no glue or paint needed! It’s been the perfect introduction to modelling for many beginners looking to join our community and is expanding all the time!
