Airfix | 2025 Range Launch!

[@lonnieberry1892]

Hooray! A Sepecat Jaguar Mk.1A !! About time! Thank you Airfix!!

[@alexsp7086]

Was going to say this is the most underrated jet ever. Was about time someone shed some light on it.

[@Rob99552]

This is a great addition, such an iconic and sporty looking jet - they've got a real 1:1 example at the Yorkshire Air Museum too so can go along for reference viewing and photo shoots.

[@Saxon_TAG]

Literally this. I paid £60 for an old kit recently on ebay because they're out of stock and nobody making a current kit. Same with the Phantom FGR2, the kits are so rare you're looking at £60+ second hand. Airfix if you're reading this, start planning a Phantom FGR2 in 1:48 - there is demand for it!!

[@Clem_Fandango11]

When I was a kid in the 70s every year the big event was the Airfix catalog. It was enormous. Loved it. I had the original Jaguar, Hudson and E-Boat from the original range.

[@asthmaticmonkey1]

Yes, I can hear you Clem Fandango.

[@davidguy6823]

Delighted that you have decided to re release the classic 1/72 boats. They will certainly be on my 2025 build list…can’t wait!

[@ScaleHangar182]

I knew you are going to release 1/48 Sepecat Jaguar this year! I just knew it! 😅😅😅😅

[@xyz-hj6ul]

Agreed, very nice to see. Looking for some more exotic parts and markings though... Oman, India, Nigeria. Radar and Sea Eagle. TIALD and CPU-123B. Over and Underwing Sidewinder rails. LAU-5003 CRV-7 pods. CBU-87 high altitude CBUs and perhaps BL.755 as well. Both main instrument panels. Alpha and Old Style helmets. It's still a really good thing to see and there are huge numbers of secondary release options, including the French variant, 2-seaters and perhaps even a Jaguar M. Thanks Airfix. Beautiful, menacing, jet. pbs.twimg.com/media/Fd_z1eAWAAEl9A6.jpg

[@BubbinskiUT]

Love the 1/144 SLS Artemis! And that the Space Shuttle is back along with the Saturn V.

[@adampoultney8737]

Bold choice not to put the shuttle and saturn v in the vintage range

[@donaldcunningham2386]

Artemis! At last! Space modellers like me will be drooling!

[@IanLanc]

@@adampoultney8737 I purchased a red box Saturn V a while back, it's not even buildable, purchased around 2010ish the halves literally can't be put together, massive mis-alignment caused by warping on stage 1 & 2.....Wonder if Airfix will be seeing if there's any issues with their old kit moulds.

[@Easy-Eight]

@ Get the SLS/Artemis just before it's killed in CY 2025. 12 years to get a flight is a little too pokey. SpaceX is going to bury it.

[@raymondhowsham8432]

The old Saturn 5 and Shuttle and the SLS which at the moment looks increasingly like it will be cancelled, for gods sake Airfix this isn’t good enough when there’s the SpaceX rockets, not to mention the old Atlas and Titan rockets and a Skylab space station or heaven forbid a bit of science fiction like a Blake7 Liberator and pursuit ships. Please stop leaving us space enthusiasts feeling short changed.

[@leokimvideo]

Well done Airfix, old classics that never die for a new generation

[@NeDlols]

More like old tat that they refuse to retool and keep reboxing year after year to put a new generation off building models with such subpar quality

[@dettaylor6797]

I still have nightmares of old Airfix, no new toolings and nothing except a rehash of bygone days. Nostalgia only goes so far lol

[@hondo1650]

Been asking Airfix for the TR9 for years. Well done. 😊

[@richardmeftah2569]

Tha Jaguars look absolutely superb!

[@davidorr6627]

Thank you Airfix. You have answered the prayers of 1000's of modellers around the world. That new Jaguar really hits the spot. Every other manufacturer will be kicking themselves for not releasing a Jag this year. This, along with the recently released Lysander, and the re-release of the 1/24 Mustang have really gotten me excited.

[@tommybowler1700]

Vosper MTB and E Boat will definately be on my shopping list!

[@danielcarlson800]

That two-seat Spitfire's making me CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS!!!!!!!!!

[@donaldcunningham2386]

Yes, it's a cracker, isn't it?!

[@daz1975ify]

1/35 Stolly and the F.C Land rover are brilliant, but the Jaguar is a total win . Well done 👍

[@mohammedalmukhtar5428]

Glad to see one of my favourite fighter appears in1/48th scale ..the Jaguar. I am one of the modellers sent a message on facebook to include this masterpiece in new tooling edition. Thank you for this wonderful collection!

[@phil.7064]

Cool to see the Lady Be Good scheme on the b24!

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

There's gonna be a lot of dramatic dioramas made with that.

[@bobhaltom2588]

Good to see to Last Be Good.in her flight glory

[@Tconcept]

Hoorah for the classic boats 😀👍

[@saint_ruth1691]

You beat me to it!! Hoorah!

[@Stahllaufrollen]

Had them all, have still an e-boat in the old box ❤ Huzar! Huzar! Huzar!

[@stevegower7011]

Finally won't have to pay crazy eBay prices for these classic boats. Well done airfix

[@nicholasperry2380]

Looks like a year of beans on toast for me then and I couldn't be happier, nice one Airfix a good balance of subjects and scales. The Blenheim IV and Vampire T.11 would be good for next year as they've not snuck in this year, we can wait.... Seriously great work by all involved. Thank You.

[@JR-ud3zi]

Well done Airfix on the Stalwart look forward to it's release. More like this please.

[@creativetimewasting]

Jag and Stalwart the highlight there. I will be building them this year, well done Airfix 👍

[@wessexdruid7598]

1:35th? I remember the old Airfix 1:32nd Stally... 🙂

[@GameHammerCG]

Oh my goodness, the Airfix 2025 range feels like someone at Airfix HQ basically looked in my brain and picked all the 'planes I love from a childhood spent making models. The Flying Fortress! The Liberator! A mk 1 Hurricane! I really could not be happier!

[@michaely6665]

The box art for the E-boat is literally art!

[@redr1150r]

The first model I ever built was the 1/72 Airfix Hawker Hurricane here in the US. I think It was in 1958, or 1959. It was made of light blue plastic and came in a little bag, with a paper tag stapled to it.

[@michaelwain3198]

You should do the (New) Jag in 1/72, you'd clean up in both scales

[@westerndemise3588]

Brilliant work guys.... takes me back. Makes me wanna get back into it

[@lunokhod3937]

The spacecraft line is very cool, hope to see maybe 1/72 or 1/48 renditions of spacecraft such as Cassini, Juno, Voyager, etc. Soviet spacecraft would also be very cool, would adore a 1/48 soyuz capsule.

[@jonathanwebb8307]

[@TheFulcrum2010]

Airfix won’t be able to make enough of the Jaguar kit. Absolutely wanted one of those for years.

[@susancox9524]

Yes great show I'm ex R. C. T and ex granby you have made my day airfix what a day ex army will love today's kits thanks airfix team.

[@jeff72_]

Well done to Dale and the @Airfix team! A 1/48 Spitfire TR.9 in IAC scheme is brilliant news. Also excited about the Alvis Stalwart and the vintage classic boats 👏👏

[@narlokeill736]

Excellent news 👏 EC

[@RichardPhillips-qg8yz]

Love the Vintage Classics Jag and Puma, two of my favourites from the 70's

[@gorlestondoug]

I will definitely have that Wessex and I quite fancy the Jaguar. I cant believe they have released 2 MORE spitfires.

[@davidgaul6743]

pity there is no Bader Spitfire....

[@AV-8History]

I think the Tr.IX can be excused though, because of how unique it is compared to other releases, but I do agree with the Mk.IX, it's just another one on the band wagon I suppose

[@shaneblack4862]

Thank you for bringing back the PR XIX Spitfire! Been after this kit for ages. And well done on the 35th Stalwart. A superb option to add to the Airfix range.

[@g.cotter4256]

I’ve been waiting for a modern Jaguar for years, thank you.

[@markmills586]

People who model in The Only Scale That Matters have had to wait longer.

[@simonemartinezsaule9773]

I'm above all a ship enthusiast (I recently bought your model of HMS Iron Duke in 1/600 scale) and I really hoped that your RAF Rescue launch would be available again! Great idea! 😊

[@tomsunley3173]

Excellent news about the 1/48 Jaguar. However your 11 squadron version is actually 2 ac squadron markings

[@normanlong2191]

Thank You Airfix absolutely fantastic news !!

[@andrewdeboer7435]

Well done, Airfix! Smashing the Like button. Hope to visit Margate this fall and drop in to the Hornby Visitor Centre.

[@dahawg123]

Two seat Spitfire!!!!!! Flew one last year so I HAVE to get this! Well done Airfix!!

[@Rob-y5r]

Absolutely buzzing, wasn't expecting most of these but I think I will need to build an extension to fit them all in!!!

[@the.just.able.biker67]

You'll be seeing plenty of my Scottish bank notes this year. "What d'ya mean no??!!" "They're legal tender" 😂😂👍

[@TheVigilant109]

Great to see a new Jaguar and Stalwart and the old Puma

[@mlspitfire77]

The jaguar 1/48 scale looks awesome

[@davidorr6627]

Let's face it, any Jaguar looks awesome, but this new 1/48 scale version is the one we have all been asking for.

[@stevea21sc82]

A new 1.48 Jaguar! Fantastic!!!

[@SullysScaleModels]

What a great line up!!! Exallent work guys!

[@Bosencat3rd]

I think Airfix has hit the ball out of the park with this years releases. When I was a young boy I built the Saturn V rocket. It was truly impressive! So many kits to get... no money, no time, no problem. Getting them anyway!

[@lordtherapeutics]

Thrilling line-up, super schemes and artwork to boot. Well done.

[@CanadianSam999]

Really happy to see the Sopwith Pup back in the range. A missing piece in my collection. Also, the new schemes on the He-111 H-6 and the new Chinook parts/schemes have definitely added them to my list to purchase this year. Would love to see Airfix do an accurate Mi-24D/Mi-25 "Hind" and a Westland Wasp in 1/72.

[@kodiak64]

Forget it, Airfix will NEVER do a Westland Wasp in any scale, much less update their Westland Scout. We'll have to look elsewhere for such bounty.

[@unintention]

Very pleased to see a new Sepecat Jaguar, and the Alvis Stalwart is nice too.

[@fleabiter]

I built a load of them first time around in the 70's.

[@williammichael2156]

Me too

[@GOATERS100]

What a cracking list of kit, very well done. Stalwart on order, more later👍

[@jeffreyross-zb8cz]

"Cracking List" is SO British of You Limey 😂 Your Yank Boy Across Pond, "DETROIT"

[@petercoghlan8896]

Great mix of old and new, and across so many genres too!! Thanks to everyone involved!!

[@Gerdam]

Was hoping for a 1:350 Royal Navy ship of some sort, QE or PW would have been nice!

[@mattendspiel9341]

You’ve outdone yourselves this year Airfix!! Thanks

[@martinB68]

Good Mix Airfix! The Jag & Wessex will be on my list for sure.

[@ianwebb3076]

Some excellent releases here. The 1/48th Spitfire Tr.9 kit looks interesting as does the Jaguar GR1. Well Done Airfix.

[@Slycockney]

Not one Jag but two, I am the happiest of happy bunnies. Some other good releases also, thanks Airfix. I will start saving my pennies

[@ryanparkin6156]

A JAGUAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 At last!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Airfix!!!!

[@daveyr1]

i've been telling you guys for years on twitter to do a 1/35 Stalwart, good to see you listened to me. One ton Land Rover with a 105 light gun in 1/35 and a Bedford MJ in 35th next.

[@nikhinson3703]

Totally agree with that, plus other variants of the one tonne, like the signals hard top.

[@lindsayross3363]

1/48 jaguar and twin seat spitfire fantastic well pleased

[@Damien-q8t]

Dont build 1/48 as i dont build bigger than 1/72 but am tempted to get the Spitfire Tr Mk9 as it has Irish Air Corps decals and im from Ireland

[@wirksworthsrailway]

Well done Airfix - Spitfire trainer is inspired, Jaguar - brilliant and THANK YOU for reissuing the Spitfire XIX in 1/48. Oh and Artemis - you stars!

[@stevenperry7493]

I am a rail modeller but looking what’s coming up I could start making kits .

[@coleyoutubechannel]

Excited for the Jaguar! looks great

[@stevendevlin4410]

Well done keeping the Jag under wraps, you must have been bursting to tell everyone. Bravo !! Also looking forward to the Stalwart. Maybe, at some point you might consider the long ignored 432? Or maybe a Warrior?

[@aviation2simulator581]

How are you doing the cover artworks? They look so amazing - the lighting, the colors, details and backgrounds! And the style is the same... so amazing! Wonderful!

[@bradlavassaur8265]

Awesome video!! I'm a huge fan of British armament. What an exciting time for arfix. I will be watching closely. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@scotabot7826]

Great launch! Was hoping to see the small kits from the 1970's that included the Piper Cherokee Arrow kit, along with the others from that line. Please bring them back.

[@edcola6671]

Highlight of this for me is certainly the Space Shuttle. The only one there’s been for ages is the Revell kit.

[@tonybmw5785]

And that is a fit nightmare!

[@darrenpyper9689]

Stalwart is nice addition as is the Mk 1 Ferret and nice to see the 1/76 light gun and b vehicles back

[@BEARDEDAXEMODELS]

Well bugger me... They actually did it. Bravo AIRFIX for listening.

[@Georgeconna32]

big que forming to do that I heard

[@JonqsSimulationsOfficial]

May I ask what you are referring to here?

[@BEARDEDAXEMODELS]

@JonqsSimulationsOfficial that would be the 1/48th Jaguar. Been top of many people's wish lists for a long time and with no real competition... It's a no brainer

[@JonqsSimulationsOfficial]

@@BEARDEDAXEMODELSOoo yes that is an exciting one!

[@ianmeredith7969]

The backing music has that someone whispering "Aitch", like correcting his pronunciation of H! Wish they'd caught the error on Corps too!

[@PaulB-justme]

Yes, I noticed that too...

[@ekmad]

"Corpse" haha

[@themajesticmagnificent386]

Fantastic and Thank you The Airfix Crew..Each year Airfix progresses🇬🇧👍

[@keithalaird]

Glad to see the Sopwith Pup re-release. Also the Stalwart looks interesting. I had the old soft plastic one a long time ago

[@malaudisa]

Way to go Airfix, keep up the re-ignited brnding and great model releases!

[@andrewmossop2892]

1/48 th Jaguar 👍👍👍👍you’ve nailed it 👍👍👍👍

[@NeilStewart-v8v]

2 AC Sqn, nor 11 Sqn!

[@arran1942]

Love the space kits and the old boats. The Puma and classic Jaguar are wonderful as well. 2025 will be a good year for building kits!

[@jmatch3744]

Airfix you knocked it out of the park this year congrats! The only thing missing is a 1/72 Halifax.

[@rogueriderhood1862]

Agree about the Halifax, perhaps next year 😊

[@jmatch3744]

@ hopefully they release it in the middle of the year 😭

[@TornadoLuigi]

Also a 1/72nd Catalina, Stirling, Spitfire IX, Corsair, Thunderbolt, Hellcat, Sea Vixen, Jag, Hunter, Gannet, Lysander etc..Great for people who build 1/48 though as they seem to be focusing more on that scale and bring out a bunch of exciting kits every year.

[@ekmad]

The B-24 was a surprise last year so here's hoping they have something for us 1/72 aircraft fans.

[@TornadoLuigi]

@@ekmad That's true, also the Me 410 was a surprise release so hopefully there'll be something later this year.

[@bowser515]

Great to see a Jag. Please make a twin seat version of it. It's such a great looking aircraft.

[@asthmaticmonkey1]

That two seat Spitfire is going to be lovely in 1/48. Nice one Airfix!

[@hopik512]

15:16 Those spits were colecting dust for a long time :D but two seater hype!

[@CW-hh8yz]

Glad to see 1:48 15 CWT truck and that 1:35 Stalwart looks sharp!

[@Miamivice74]

Well done airfix!! Brilliant line up!❤

[@StevenPotts-ij9ue]

Some very welcome releases there, the spacecraft, military vehicles and the ship models are of particular interest to me but some of the aircraft are also on my wish list, thankyou for listening to the modelling community.👍

[@guidor.4161]

For me definitely the superb E-boat and the stalwart. Maybe a Ferret too...

[@MarcvanExel]

Ok, Jaguar, Tr.9 spit, and possibly the Wessex go on the list. Will think about the 1/48 WWII vehicles. Well done Airfix! Remember the 1/48 AT6/Harvard for next year ;)

[@rogersmith2950]

Great, rockets love the Saturn 5 yes I am that old I watched it live. I be getting them all and maybe a few spares, great for scratch building. Thank you Airfix. Any chance of reissuing the Starcruiser. That's a lovely kit and is great for letting your imagination run. 😀

[@Easy-Eight]

The Revell/Monogram Saturn V is on the shelves of any good model shop. The SLS is program is going to be cancelled by congress in CY 2025. Airfix messed up making a model of it.

[@orbitalair2103]

​​@@Easy-Eightspace collectors will still want it. Question is this, is the air fix saturn kit better than the revell one?

[@Easy-Eight]

@@orbitalair2103 both are equally bad. Both molds are from the 1960s and were not updated with the flight rated Apollo capsule, proper escape tower, and the engines are inaccurate. Real Space sells an upgrade kit for both. Revell/Monogram still own the market because occasionally they will reissue the huge 1/96 and 1/48 models. That does not count the Esties Saturn fleet nor a few others.

[@origamichik3n]

Finally, some love for the Jaguar.

[@jessewilliams1422]

Great to see some new molds!! Cant wait to get my hands on that new spitfire! Cheers

[@TheOccinator]

Great to see some really interesting new kits and new schemes to previous releases. Please note a TYPO with your spelling of "Changhi" rather than the correct Changi (Singapore). Looking forward to seeing a scale modelling first next year when Airfix releases the Avro Manchester! (any scale it doesn't matter!).

[@TheFifty5ive]

Airfix, you´ve got balls! And for that, you´ll have my money this year! Especially the TR.9 - that´s especially ballsy! Put me down for two! Well played!

[@steveshaw2581]

Airfix, you have excelled here. Bravo!!

[@PeaLoop]

Nice job on the launch video. Some very nice looking kits.

[@Niinsa62]

Ah, the old 72nd scale Sopwith Pup! I built one way back when I was a kid. If I remember right, it was actually a very nice fit, and looked pretty good out of the box. Even with my crappy paint brush job. I think I'd like to try that one again. Ah, and the Vosper torpedo boat, I built that one back then! But never the E-boat. A friend had that one. Seems now is my chance to have both!

[@NPractitioner]

Oh wow! That is one stellar line-up!! There is a lot to like here, and a Jag - Woof! back of the net!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@subliminalstyrene811]

Absolutely stoked for the old Stolly, I used to work on these when I did my apprenticeship with the British Army in the 80's. I have the Accurate Armour resin kit and that is a gorgeous beast, but delicate as hell, can't wait to get my hands on a plastic injection moulded version, Thanks Airfix. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Airfix, if you are reading this, I beg you to bring out a 1/35 scale British Army Bedford 4-Ton 4X4 G.S. Truck in plastic injection moulding. The only one available in 1/35 is a resin kit and apart from costing an absolute fortune, it's practically impossible to find anywhere. An Airfix 1/35 scale kit of this truck would be the icing on the cake !!!.

[@jmclaugh]

So happy to see a new Jaguar and the Spit Mk.IXe in the range!

[@chrisbaines6931]

The mk9 spitfire grabbed my attention but then the Jaguar came along. The Jaguar was the first kit I built with my dad over 30 years zgo so I'll have to repeat that with my boy in 2025.

[@Sebastiaan_Kramer]

Nice, looking forward to the Fairey Gannet. High expectations here since the 2023 release was a real delight to build.

[@stuff31]

I'm very excited for the wide selection of new and re-introduced toolings coming to the range this year, though I do have some queries about the Space Exploration gift sets. The Space Shuttle kit was originally tooled back in 1978 and the Saturn V in 1970, with the latter being reboxed multiple times between 1970 and 2000 so the tools may be suffering from flash and warping issues by this point. Yet despite their advanced age these sets are not being advertised under the Vintage Classics banner like other kits of a similar age, like the Westland Puma from 1973. This feels a bit deceptive, and I feel that the kits should really have some kind of notice that they are old toolings on them, because these kits are quite noticeably old - the Space Shuttle especially has lots of raised panel lines instead of recessed ones not in line with the standards of detail for most of the modern range. I understand that the Space Exploration line needed a few more kits to justify itself outside of the new Artemis rocket, but I feel like their age should be more clearly signposted when they are being placed next to a brand new 2025 tool. Outside of that though, this is a very impressive selection, and I am happy to see the two-seater Spitfire get some love here. Happy New Year.

[@bullitt3980]

Love to do that 6 wheel truck as the classic Matchbox BP Explorer

[@nikhinson3703]

As a lover of Cold War vehicles, I’m pleased to see the Stalwart in 1:35. Along with the ferret I hope this is the start of a wider range. I’m also interest to see the re-release of the two Landrovers, the Bedford MK/MJ and the 105.

[@whtalt92]

Twin-tub Spit in 1/48? Frikkin' awesome!

[@weazel235]

I know James May is in here somewhere watching
