On Saturday I managed to find a £5 Supermarine Spitfire mk1a, I got home and started building it in seconds, already loving the hobby and hoping for another set soon! :)

I just bought my first Airfix model (at 57 years old!) - Airfix A01071B Supermarine Spitfire Mkia 1:72
Has Airfix considered building a Canadair CP-107 Argus, Mk I ?
They were a beautiful aircraft that I had the pleasure of being around when I was getting my private pilot's licence at CFB Greenwood, Nova Scotia, Canada back in 1979.

I bought my dad one of these but he's a bit older and didn't think he'd get it done so I said I'd make it for him I found it to be very relaxing and enjoyable putting together and ended up buying a few more models I think I'm getting better at putting them together new tips and tricks everytime

Will you guys remake the sherman? Its seriously old and need some change!!! Heller makes a realy good m4a2 and m4 you guys could perhaps make a firefly!!! They are kinda rare in 72nd

I love Airfix kits! So much to choose from. My favorite themes are WW2 aircraft and figures.

Any word on the new HMS Queen Elizabeth in 1/350 scale?

[boeingthepyroraptor]

Can you make some modern airliners (basically anything form 747 to 787 era). I would LOVE an A380 kit especially

[USAF-hoqk]

I usually buy quickbuild ones but got my first today the p51

[jamescharlton]

Please re tool the Vulcan and do it soon!

[mermaidfan]

I got the Messerschmitt from my local Aldi shop in biggleswade

[toocan]

You guys should make more of the airfix model kits that come with paint and glue it so much easier save u getting paint and glue

[plesmem]

Can you guys make a starter set for the Sherman? 1:72 scale please!

Great video. loved all the comments, very helpful, thank you

I’m thinking about starting air fix modelling. I have done a few kits at school before: A DB5, a hurricane and I typhoon. But I wanna do my own what would you recommend? (I’m looking for a military aircraft)

[piotrekski-]

it would be awesome if you added more cold war weapons like the Boeing minutemen ICBM or U2 spy plane, preferably the one that was shot down. A larger space and Vietnam war range of models would be nice, as would more civilian aircraft. Perhaps you could make a gun truck or Ford M151 with a pole in front as an optional attachment, as the poles were put on the front of the jeep to cut ropes positioned at the driver's neck. Please take on board my advice.

I love EVERYTHING AIRFIX. We are british, So please be proper and say WHICH kit to buy. Please.. carry on. I may order something. Is it me?

[vasili]

There is a gap in the market for 80's and 90's british road cars ie the hot hatch era If you fill that gap you be rich ....
