Plastech is a Company that creates tooling for injection mouldings and has partnered with Airfix to produce, pack and ship the new Airfix 1/24 Spitfire Mk.IXc.. I show you the tool room, mould room and the packaging area where this Airfix Spitfire Super kit (and quick build range) are brought to life and ready for us scale modellers to build.. This video goes into every thing from the tools, to how the boxes are designed to be specific for the airfix spitfire.
Huge thanks to Mark from Plastech for the tour www.plastch.com
