I was buying and making Airfix kits from about 1967/68 up to 1972. I had the bofos gun, and angel interceptor. I saved pocket money and loose change, then when I was 11, got a paper round! (Imagine kids today) out all weather, every Saturday morning I would be down the local Woolworths, browsing and buying kits and paints.

I had a squadron of Mosquitos.

Great memories and kits, so much like a time machine The metal miniatures are vintage now, ouch, and the Apollo kits kind of introduced the concept of dioramas Thanks for sharing.

I had #5 #4 & #2 models back in 70s. Hav to say the Apollo Saturn V rocket remains my favourite model

Probably not their best kit, but the old Wellington was a real gem. Early kits were made of hard silver plastic and fit extremely well. The tooling got pretty dodgy before it finally gave up the ghost resulting in the stellar new Wellington kit.

The Airfix B-29 for me was fantastic ,it was a big kit with retractable landing gear ,working bomb bay doors ,and moving turrets ,I bought it in the small shop in the village I grew up in ,it sold everything from bicycles to shotgun catridges !

Yeah great memories! Remember getting the 1/24 Me109 built by my late uncle, but was disappointed since I wanted the 1/72 S 79 Italian tri-motor torp. bomber!

Cool models.

In Ireland, in the 70's and 80's the Bofors gun and tractor was like hen's teeth. It was like winning the lottery if you got your hands on one. Same with the 88mm kit.

Funny but if I had to list my Airfix favourites, that Short Skyvan would certainly be on the list. I am 57 years old and clearly remember when it was first released - Happy days!

My nomination: SA2 Guideline missile, truck and trailer.

Stuka! Stuka! And Stuka! Plus I've got the apollo helicopter from corgi aviation range boxed it's a beautiful model No66 which was not the actual one that picked up the astronauts.

I got Airfix kits from Woolies too

Thing is, although it was boring, we didnt know any better than 3 TV channels, we thought Vesta packet curries were exotic, but we ate vegetables from our garden, and our grandparents garden. The sky was blue, like during lockdown, not milky because of contrails spraying crap in the sky. The music was great for us bored disaffected kids, The Jam. Clash, Pistols, Stranglers and post punk 80s from Joy Division to the Smiths. Yes, some good, some bad, but im glad i experienced that time, after all, we are all products of our environment.

Yes! the LEM in 1/72. It does not get better than that! My favs include (but not limited to):

Had all of these kits in the 70s and most of the Airfix catalogue which I had ticked off each one that I bought from tanks,planes,ships,figures,cars,etc.Then girls happened.

My five favourite Airfix / Kitmaster kits if I can't include Fireball XL5 or Stingray would be...

I got the Lunar Module myself and the Saturn V, but I wanted that Sea King too and most of all, the Holy Grail, was a Saturn 1B I know if I did, it would look like the rest of the those I made as a kid. I found my Saturn V and the paintwork is embarrassing. And even having one of them now, it would be a lot of work considering the quality of 70s tooling, to make it looki good, but dang, I would love a 1B none the less (and the Vostok) - 1974 catalogue I am sure as I thumbed those pages ruthlessly. Moved on to Tamiya at that time as y brother did and never looked back.

Had that since 2008 still not made it Morris

I WISH MY TIME MACHINE WASN'T BROKEN😢😢😢😢😢
