  The Box Art is nice. But many of these models were really BAD when compared to the Japanese brands. On the other hand, several aircraft were only available with Airfix. The Beaver or the Sunderland, just to name a couple of them.

  I learnt the news from a modelling friend in the UK. Roy turned 100 on 23 April but sadly passed away the following day after a short illness, according to his son, Anthony. I have fond memories of buying Airfix kits in the old hanging bags back in the '60's and swooning over the brilliant artwork on each. I sincerely hope that any re-releases of Airfix kits continue to feature Roy's amazing artwork. His legacy deserves to live on. RIP.

  I would love if you started making videos again, specifically the long-form talking videos about what you’re working on. I would be willing to support on Patreon if it were available. Hope all is well.

  Couldn't stand the American kit box art for the most part. Tacky horrible stuff that reminded me of the Ed Roth Rat Fink dragster models. But they're Americans and didn't know any better. Airfix all the way.

• 
  @MakingModelsAgain10 ай бұрын

  It was so long ago now, but I always use primer now. In fact, I tend to use black primes and slowly layer the top coat on until I have the desired tone. Not everyone's cup of tea, but works for me. Oh, and welcome to the hobby!

  Its funny when I bought and made these kits, when I was a lad they came with the correct Luftwaffe markings on them? I am no Nazi, but who ever made the decision to remove the swastika from the tail fins does the men and woman who fought these bastards a disservice and insults there sacrifice and memory. The free world fought Nazi Germany not Germany, and before anyone get on there high horse about my comment, half of my family fought this tyranny and still to this day lay in the country that they fell. Stop brushing out History, or you run the risk of repeating.

  I love these 1/72 scale airfix plane kits very highly detailed doesn't take up much display case space or you can use a bigger clear case that's for like displaying a foot ball or soccer ball or basketball that is sports memorabilia you can fit 6 planes in one case 4 on the bottom glued down with double sided clear tape sitting on their landing gear then two hanging from the top in flying trip with landing gear up and they work perfect doing that for these little planes saves money for a good way to protect your hard work from dust o can't stand putting a model I spent time building it be one of these or a highly detailed 1/24 scale car I took months and months building and detailing just for it to collect dust like some ppl let them dononcant do it
