The Life and times of AIRFIX

Also the introduction of competition.
Did you know Tamiya was a lumber company ?



How much longer will Airfix survive ? It's looking dodgy.
Is it wise to grab that Airfix kit you have been eyeing off now, when the corporates make decisions without telegraphing the markets ?



Ps...I'd love the Bulldog

Interesting post.

When it said venture capitalists had bought it in 2006 I shuddered. Nothing good can come of a deal with such types. As for buying kits before they disappear, the older stuff doesn't interest me and much of their new tool stuff is being done by other companies and at a higher quality.

The only kit I would like is their 1/24 Hellcat and that's currently not available. I could go for their new 1/24 109 as well but deeper pockets might be required.
