Introducing Airfix Sprue Talk!

Sprue Talk is a fresh series in which we aim to bring you a much deeper insight into not only the Airfix world, but the wider scale modelling community in general - from an industry and modeller perspective.

Revealing exactly what goes into planning the Airfix range – from decal options to stocking issues, with host Michael Day, we invite you to join Head of Brand, Dale Luckhurst, and Researcher, Luke Slaney-Hewitt for this first ever episode.

Let us know in the comments what you would like to see in future episodes.

Really enjoyed the show, would love to see an episode showing how the tooling is made and talking to the engineers that make the tooling.

A nuts an bolts presentation of Airfix releases I enjoyed the first show an look forward to others in the future .

[Pearmain]

Great discussion and the kind of video that is just right. Look forward to the next one.

[georgelyons]

Excellent guys, thoroughly enjoyed the chat. Looking forward to the next episode.

Thank you for the insight, you did a great job all around! I believe my best take away was seeing young folk interested in the hobby. After 56 years of modelling I thought interest had waned in the video game generation. You give me hope and a smile, I have to pass on my kit collection to somebody someday!

Exactly the kind of meat on the bones discussion we’ve all been wanting. A great reposte to all those forum know it all’s who seem to the know how exactly how Airfix should be running their business.

Excellent video and well done on your first episode. Liked and subscribed. 👍👍

Really enjoyed this, the full 360 on the ranges current choices and future developments offers a great insight to Airfix and the machinations of the industry as a whole. I think this adds real depth to our hobby. can't wait to get my hands on the Mk9 now. thanks team.

Great video and very interesting content. Nice relaxed approach and gives a great insight into how make decisions. And enthusiasm comes through too. Look forward to next video.

[martyryan]

Great episode. Looking forward to seeing this on a regular basis! Hopefully you’ll have Chris on to talk about his Spitfire!

Enjoyed this first show and thanks for the insights. Whilst the Nimrod, TSR2 and Canberra’s were not the most delicate of kits, the worst thing about them were the awful dot matrix like decals. I think the Vintage Classic range is an excellent idea.

Couple of things, the Swordfish was released as a joint club kit with a Hurricane with Operation Torch markings, secondly love the Saturn V in the background but whoever made it must have used your painting instructions which are wrong for stage one, no Saturn V had a horizontal band on stage 1 and the vertical bands did not go up that far.

Looking forward to the next one.

I adore Adams artwork. It's the best by far.

Thank you guys for a very entertaining show, the time just flew when i watched it. I will keep follow your show from now. on.The 1;24 spit was beautifull, but i promised myself to finnish my Tamiya spit in 1:32 before i go for the Airfix one.Maybe i will build a Norwegian one.Greetings from Norway.

[neilharrison]

amazing watch, thank you for sharing.

[theplasticsurgeon]

The club kit looks great ( i have it ) can i make a suggestion regarding the club kit though not all of of us modelers do planes, hows about an occasional choice of plane or a tank?

[Deep-Red-]

Are there plans to replace the old 1/76 tank kits with the improved versions, such as you've done with the tiger? The new tiger and the sherman firefly are great kits to build and the one piece running gear leaves the old rubber band tracks in the dust.

[madtony]

Good video fellas, I think it is a great idea you doing it on you tube. You can get so much more information across interactively to a wider audience. Are there any plans for the new HMS Queen Elizabeth? As far as I am aware there isn't anything available or in the pipeline from other brands.

[NicWells]

Just watching the section on the spitfire, and you mention the tooling being shipped to India,
Why not bring the production back to the UK? I understand you have some of the quick builds produced in the UK, So why not one of the kits?

[darrensbattlebunker]

Fantastic show. Any thoughts on putting it out as an audio only podcast. Would be perfect for my drive to work
