here in Germany, Revell was king of the game, but I remember back in the 1970s, when my parents went to a large grocery store, there was a toy department. They carried Airfix, and there have been these big cardboards: SRN4 Hovercraft scale 1/144, the 1/72Avro Lancaster Dambuster and the Supermarine Spitfire scale 1/24. Everytime when we went shopping I looked at these, they were never sold, and the cardboard got more and more damages.

A look down on the Tank Museum’s M5A1 Stuart Light Tank. It’s painted to represent a US Marine Corps tank as used in the Pacific. The M5 was introduced in late 1942. This is an upgraded M5A1, featuring improvements such as a larger hatch for the driver.

You have responded well to the marketing of Airfix and are truly building those kits you have always wanted. How will you respond to the Italeri and then Revell releases? Will your stash of unmade kits grow even more?

It probably will and you can add Dragon, Tamiya and Trumpeter to the mix! These videos are mainly about nostalgia but I was excited by the Airfix range this year. I'm not saying I'm not usually, but they seem to have picked models that I really like this season. Thanks for commenting.

Very well done. I’m a tad younger, but oh I can relate. I took my (MPC) here in the States, Airfix B-17G into school. Built the B-29 also. Always wanted the pontoon bridge, but was grateful to get the Normandy set with the Tiger I and Sherman and burnt out house.

G'day to you, Just this side of 75 and still Modelling, awhile ago I was at a Jumble sale Digging through Boxes of Old Kits and to my Great surprise at the Bottom o a Box was a Unopened Airfix B29, grabbing it quickly I asked the Lady in charge "How much?" ready to pay as much as they asked, "Would $5 be ok?" I was ever so quick opening my Wallet LOL! Armadale West Aust.

The B-29 was a classic in it`s day and still a good model even now. I was only disappointed to find out years after building it when looking at some original photos that they censored the "Joltin` Josie" decals though.

l,m a 70 year old still modelling . When l was a kid in the 60's l built most of the kits (mostly aircraft ) available at the time and what a vast amount to choose from . Airfix , Revell , Monogram , Frog , etc . l had shelves and shelves of models with some hanging from the ceiling . Such happy days and making models was an important part of that . All these years later still go back to buying the old kits that are still available now . At the moment l am building the Matchbox 1/76 tank range reissued by Revell .

I would like to see Airfix retool the 1/144 scale Handley Page HP 42 Heracles biplane and correcting some of its detail flaws (Wing flaps/ailerons, main wing struts, motor/prop detail, fuel access/tank and vent details, the radio direction antenna, add a air driven electrical generator, and refine the rear stabilizer detail and struts.) It was a really good model that could be GREAT!

Greetings from America! I'm 65, and I've been building model kits for more than half a century - almost 60 years, in fact, since I started modeling at age six. My first models were mostly small (read: affordable) Aurora, Palmer, Pyro and Lindberg, with the occasional Monogram and Revell thrown in. As I got older, I added AMT and MPC kits, since these 1/25th scale model car kits tended to be a bit more expensive. I also - mostly unknowingly - built some Airfix kits that were produced and marketed by MPC. But it wasn't until I was a bit older when I found a hobby shop that actually imported Airfix and FROG kits from the UK, and Heller kits from France. That was also when I joined my local IPMS (St. Louis Gateway Chapter) in the mid-1970's. Thanks for sharing the memories! 1st Like.

Hey modeler Mark - good to hear from you again. Yes as we agree, they were great times and often pocket money was spent on the smaller but still exciting kits. We had a shop at the end of our road called Mr Clive's and they sold mainly Matchbox kits so on a Sunday morning, my brother and I would trot up there and return with a Brewster Buffalo, Lysander, Skyhawk or Starfighter etc. Great memories and thanks again for sharing yours. Keep enjoying the models and spread the word! David

Nice video! I was a child of the late sixties/early seventies in Canada and Airfix kits were widely available and quite affordable. I bought three of the Bloodhounds, chiefly for the Land Rovers and actually still have them. The Mosquito too and the Tiger plus many more. I really liked the the 1/32 scale cars and wish they would reissue more of them, especially the mk1 mini. Cheers!

Greetings from America! I'm also "of a certain age," and I built many of these, myself. Where I lived, Airfix kits imported from the UK were only available in hobby shops. But I did build plenty of Airfix kits sold under the MPC label, including the DUKW. I never saw the Airfix Saturn V until I was in high school, but I did build the Monogram 1/144th scale offering. From what I understand, both Saturn V kits suffer from an undersized C/SM and LM Adapter. Also, the Monogram offering had poorly detailed J-2 engines on the S-II stage, (or more accurately, none at all.) But the Monogram kit allowed for the entire flight plan to be demonstrated due to a hinged LM Adapter and working landing legs on the Descent Stage. It's my understanding that the latest issues of the Airfix kit now provide a corrected (and Block-2) SM and LM Adapter, and looks much better as the full stack than the classic Monogram (now Revell) kit. Thanks for sharing this with us! 3rd Like.

Hello modelermark from across the pond! It's great to connect on a global level to follow modelers. I didn't know there was a Monogram version of the Saturn V but have only just recently spotted some Airfix kits that were made/adapted for the US market at the time. Working landing legs also sounds great! They may not have been the best kits by today's standards but some heart warming memories of those simple days. I hope you continue to enjoy this channel or feel free just hop in now and again. I'm not sure how easy it is to get Airfix kits in the States nowadays but the new ones are world's apart - the recent Sea King has been one of their best in my view. Wouldn't it be great to see an Apollo Recovery '66' version from them in 1/48 scale? I made the 1/72 scale one twice as a boy and have recently bought the old kit again. Ah memories! Anyway Happy Holidays and thanks for the comments. Hope Santa brings you some kits this year - fingers crossed for me!

@@davidwheeler254 I recently picked up a few of the Revell (ex Monogram) 1/144th scale Saturn V rockets to try kit bashing some of the proposed follow-on Saturn MLVs (Modified Launch Vehicles) proposed for the stillborn Apollo Applications Program. My motivation was a book written by your fellow countryman Mat Irvine titled, "Lost American Projects: A Spacecraft Modeller's Guide," that featured his take on the augmented Saturn V launch vehicle. Of course, he used the Airfix Saturn V with its better S-II stage J-2 details. But the Monogram kit would have offered Mr. Irvine one advantage: The S-II to S-IVB adapter is separate in the Monogram kit, but had to be cut off the Airfix kit to achieve the look Mr. Irvine wanted. One of my plans along these lines is to build a launch vehicle for the recently reissued "Pilgrim Observer" Spacecraft originally made in 1970 by MPC, and reissued around 2011, since the pamphlet included with both issues says that the proposed launch vehicle was an "uprated Saturn V." Though that kit is stated as 1/100th scale; the measurements of the size of known-components, like the J-2 engines and the Apollo Capsule, strongly suggest this kit is closer to 1/144th - as do the measurements stated in the aforementioned pamphlet. As a sidebar, when I was in school, Revell originally had their massive Saturn V in 1/96th scale, while Monogram went with the smaller 1/144th scale. But when Revell became the 'face' of the combined Revell/Monogram around the turn of the century; Revell now has both Saturn V kits in their catalogue. The only other Saturn V kit I know of is the 1/200th scale offering from AMT, which is currently available from Round 2 on its own or as part of a set including the Saturn 1B, Gemini Titan, and both Redstone and Atlas Mercury launch vehicles. Throw in a 1/200th scale shuttle (formerly produced by Lindberg) and the new Artemis in 1/200th scale, and all American national launch vehicles are covered. (As far as I know, the only way to get models of Space-X hardware in any scale is either scratch building or 3D Printing.) Happy Modeling!
