In the UK, the name 'Airfix' has become practically synonymous with plastic models of this type, "they became a sort of generic name for any plastic, injection-moulded model kit".&lt;ref>{{cite news|last=Caddick |first=Peter |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/5304780.stm |title=UK &amp;#124; Magazine &amp;#124; 'Airfix made me the man I am' |work=BBC News |date=1 September 2006 |access-date=2009-11-05| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080921131201/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/5304780.stm| archive-date=September 21, 2008| url-status= live}}&lt;/ref> Airfix manufactured a wide range of plastic model products such as [[model car|cars]], [[model aircraft|aircraft]], [[model ship|ships]], commercial vehicles, [[model military vehicle|military vehicles]], [[rail transport modelling|railways]], and [[model figure|figures]]. Founded in 1939, Airfix was owned by [[Humbrol]] from 1986 until the latter's financial collapse on 31 August 2006.&lt;ref>[https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-humber-28994525 Humbrol development complete eight years after factory closed] on the BBC, Published 30 August 2014&lt;/ref> Since 2007, both Humbrol and Airfix have been owned by [[Hornby Railways|Hornby]]. == History == Airfix was founded in 1939 by Hungarian businessman [[Nicholas Kove]], initially to manufacture inflatable rubber toys. The brand name was selected so that it would be alphabetically the first in trade directories.&lt;ref>May, 2009, p. 132&lt;/ref> In 1947, Airfix introduced [[injection moulding]], initially producing [[Comb|pocket combs]]. In 1949, the company was commissioned to create a [[Scale model#Examples of scale models|promotional model]] of a [[Ferguson Company|Ferguson]] [[Ferguson TE20|TE20]] tractor, moulded in [[cellulose acetate]] plastic and hand-assembled for distribution to Ferguson sales representatives. To increase sales and lower production costs, the model was sold in kit form by [[Woolworths Group (United Kingdom)|Woolworth]]'s retail stores. In 1954, Woolworth's buyer Jim Russon suggested that Airfix produce a model kit of [[Sir Francis Drake]]'s ''[[Golden Hind]]'', then being sold in North America as a '[[ship-in-a-bottle]]', made in the more stable [[polystyrene]]. To meet Woolworth's retail price of two shillings, Airfix packaged the product in a plastic bag with a paper header that had the assembly instructions on the reverse. Its huge success led the company to produce new kit designs. The first aircraft kit was released in 1953, a model of the [[Supermarine Spitfire]] Mk I,&lt;ref>May, 2009, p. 135&lt;/ref> followed by the Spitfire Mk IX in 1958, in {{frac|1|72}} scale, developed by [[James Hay Stevens]].&lt;ref>Arthur Ward, ''The Boys' Book of Airfix: Who Says You Ever Have to Grow Up?'', Random House, 2009, {{ISBN|0-09-192898-2}}, {{ISBN|978-0-09-192898-8}}, ([https://books.google.com/books?id=sQqlOBvWzE4C&amp;dq=James%20Hay-Stevens%20airfix&amp;pg=PT50 page 49])&lt;/ref> This was a scaled-down copy of the [[Aurora Plastics Corporation|Aurora]] {{frac|1|48}} Supermarine Spitfire kit, although it is unknown if this kit was produced with authorization from Aurora.&lt;ref name=JamesMaySpitfire>May, 2009, p. 142-143&lt;/ref> Kove initially refused to believe the product would sell and threatened to charge the cost of tooling-up to the designers.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} Airfix later received complaint letters from modellers and former [[Royal Air Force]] (RAF) personnel regarding inaccuracies of the 1/72 Spitfire Mk I that were carried over from the original 1/48 Aurora model, particularly the BTK squadron code provided in the decal sheet (the code never adorned a Spitfire in real life, as it was used by a squadron operating the [[Supermarine Walrus]] amphibious biplane). One of the complaints came from modeller John Edwards, who was appointed as Airfix's chief designer after convincing the company that he can improve their aircraft kits. Edwards helped release a more accurate Spitfire Mk IX model in 1955, and he would go on to direct the designs of Airfix kits in other ranges for 15 more years until his untimely death at the age of 38.&lt;ref name=JamesMaySpitfire/> === Expansion === [[File:Airfix 57.jpg|thumb|right|Airfix models from 1957]] During the 1960s and 1970s, the company expanded as the hobby grew. The range expanded to include vintage and modern cars, motorcycles, [[model figure|figures]] in both {{frac|1|76}} and {{frac|1|32}} scale, trains, model railway accessories, military vehicles, ships, rockets and spaceships, as well as an ever-increasing range of aircraft, most created at the scales of {{frac|1|72}} for small and military aircraft and {{frac|1|144}} scale for airliners. The growth of the hobby launched a number of competitors such as [[Matchbox (brand)|Matchbox]] and introduced new manufacturers from Japan and the US to the UK. During this period the Humbrol company also grew, supplying paints, brushes, glue and other accessories as an alternative to Airfix's own range. Airfix also launched a monthly modelling magazine, ''[[Airfix Magazine]]'', produced by a variety of publishers from June 1960 to October 1993. During the 1970s, an ''Airfix Magazine Annual'' was also produced; and Airfix books on classic aircraft, classic ships and modelling techniques were published by Patrick Stephens Ltd. In 1963, the Airfix [[slot car racing]] system was introduced. Airfix produced cars with front-wheel [[Ackermann steering geometry|Ackermann]] steering and, later, conversion kits so that normal Airfix {{frac|1|32}} kit cars such as the [[Ford Zodiac]] and the [[Sunbeam Rapier]] could be raced. The first set had Ferrari and Cooper cars and an 11-foot figure-of-eight track: it cost £4/19/11d. Always in the shadow of the [[Scalextric]] range, the Airfix version attempted to progress with the higher-end Model Road Racing Company (MRRC) range but eventually the venture was abandoned. Most of Airfix's older range of military vehicles, though sold as [[1:72 scale|{{frac|1|72}}]], are generally accepted as [[OO scale|OO]] or {{frac|1|76}} scale - the subsequent introduction of a small number of true [[1:72 scale|{{frac|1|72}}]] vehicle kits to the Airfix range created controversy regarding the exact scale. Hornby's new packaging shows {{frac|1|72}} or {{frac|1|76}} as appropriate. In late 1962, the acquisition&lt;ref>{{harvnb|Knight|1999|p=7}}&lt;/ref> of the intellectual property and 35 moulds of [[Rosebud Kitmaster]] gave Airfix its first models of railway locomotives in OO and HO scales and its first motorcycle kit; the [[Ariel Leader#Ariel Arrow|Ariel Arrow]] in {{frac|1|16}} scale. The '60's also saw the introduction of an extremely popular line of boxed {{frac|1|72}} scale military figures. In the mid-1970s, larger scales were introduced, including detailed {{frac|1|24}}-scale models of the Spitfire, [[Messerschmitt Bf 109]], [[Hawker Hurricane]] and [[Hawker Siddeley Harrier|Harrier "jump-jet"]]. The mid-1970s were a peak time for Airfix. Releasing as many as 17 new kits a year, Airfix commanded 75% of the UK market with 20 million kits per annum.&lt;ref>''The Boys Book of Airfix'' p 134&lt;/ref> Series 20 was limited for several years to the 1972 {{frac|1|12}} scale kit of the 1930 Supercharged [[Bentley 4½ Litre]] car, with 272 parts and the option of a 3-volt motor. In 1979 four motorcycles in {{frac|1|8}} scale were added to this series. The company also introduced an addition to the very popular [[toy soldier|plastic soldier]] boxed set line with a {{frac|1|32}} scale version.&lt;ref>[http://www.airfixtoysoldiers.com/ Airfix Toy Soldiers]&lt;/ref> In this period, apart from model kits, Airfix also produced a wide range of toys, games, dolls and art &amp; craft products. It was still producing other plastic products such as homewares at this time. Airfix Industries acquired part of the failing [[Lines Bros|Lines Brothers]]' huge Tri-ang toy business, then in voluntary liquidation, giving it the [[Meccano]] and [[Dinky Toys]] businesses in 1971. This made Airfix the UK's largest toy company. === Decline, purchase by Humbrol === In the 1980s, Airfix Industries group was under financial pressure, there were losses in Airfix's other toy businesses and attempts to reduce costs were met with [[industrial action]]. The pound strengthened from {{US$|1.56}} to {{US$|2.35}} in a matter of months, destroying export markets, because customers were unwilling to accept a 50% price increase for the same goods. The financial interdependency of the divisions of Airfix Industries forced it to declare bankruptcy in 1981. The company was bought by [[General Mills]] (owner of US automobile kit-maker [[Model Products Corporation|MPC]]) through its UK [[Palitoy]] subsidiary.&lt;ref>May, 2009, p. 145&lt;/ref> The kit moulds were sent to their factory in [[Calais]], France. Later, Airfix aircraft kits were marketed in the United States under the MPC label and some MPC kits were sold in the UK under the Airfix name (an example being the {{frac|1|25}} scale vintage [[Stutz Bearcat]] kit originally produced as a tie-in to the ''[[Bearcats!]]'' television series). Airfix released MPC kits based on the [[Star Wars]] film series. Airfix's market share reduced to 40% of the UK market (2.3 million kits) though it had 75% of the German market. In the US, where automobile kits were more popular than aircraft, it was less than 2%.&lt;ref>Ward, 2009, p. 135-6&lt;/ref> Four years later, General Mills withdrew from the toy market to focus on its core food manufacturing business. At one point, it looked as if the Airfix range might be discontinued with no new toolings released from 1986 to 1987.&lt;ref>May, 2009, p. 255&lt;/ref> Eventually around this time, it was bought by the Hobby Products Group of [[Borden, Inc.]], which had tried to buy the range in 1981. Borden was also the owner of [[Humbrol]]. The moulds remained in France but were relocated to the group's existing kit-manufacturer, [[Trun, Orne|Trun]]-based [[Heller SA]]. This was a logical acquisition since Humbrol's paints and adhesives could be used to complete Airfix kits and the Heller factory was under-utilised. The Hobby Products Group was sold to an Irish investment company, Allen &amp; McGuire, in 1994 and continued under the Humbrol name. === 50th anniversary === In 2003, Airfix celebrated the 50th anniversary of its first aircraft kit, the Supermarine Spitfire. The celebration was two years early because of an incorrect 1953 date commonly accepted at the time. As the moulds for the original kit were long gone, Airfix reissued its {{frac|1|72}} Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Ιa kit in blue plastic. The kit also included a large Series 5 stand (the moulds for the smaller Series 1 stand having been lost) and a copy of the original plastic bag packaging with paper header. === Demise of Humbrol and acquisition by Hornby === [[File:The former Humbrol Factory - geograph.org.uk - 865800.jpg|thumb|right|Former Humbrol factory in [[Kingston upon Hull]]]] On 31 August 2006, parent company Humbrol went into [[administration (insolvency)|administration]], 31 of 41 employees being made [[redundancy (law)|redundant]], largely because of the collapse of Heller SA, which still manufactured most of Airfix's kits.&lt;ref>{{cite web|first = Vik | last = Iyer |url=http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article623642.ece |title=Airfix model firm goes into administration |publisher=Times Online |date=August 31, 2006 |access-date=2010-06-08}}{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}&lt;/ref> On 10 November 2006, [[Hornby Railways|Hornby Hobbies Ltd.]] announced it was to acquire Airfix and other assets of Humbrol for £2.6 million,&lt;ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hornby.com/news-events/news-story-1,1,HNS.html |title=Acquires Assets of Airfix Humbrol&amp;nbsp;— News &amp; Events |publisher=Hornby |date=2006-11-10 |access-date=2009-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090519005417/http://www.hornby.com/news-events/news-story-1,1,HNS.html |archive-date=2009-05-19 |url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref> and relaunched the brands the following year. In 2008, Airfix's former factory in [[Kingston upon Hull]] was demolished. === Hornby era === Under the management of Hornby, Airfix was revitalised. Old ranges were re-issued, and Airfix launched several new kits annually. Most manufacturing of Airfix products is in India, while design and packing is in the UK. === Ownership and production summary === {| class="wikitable" |- ! Period !! Ownership !!

TV and film tie-ins included the [[Monkeemobile]] and the [[Toyota 2000GT]] from the James Bond film ''[[You Only Live Twice (film)|You Only Live Twice]]'' - Airfix also kitted the [[Wallis WA-116 Agile|Wallis WA-116]] autogyro from the same film. Motorcycles 1:8, 1:12, 1:16 and 1:24 scales. Includes bikes from the 1960s to present day racing bikes. === Trains and Trackside Accessories === [[File:Airfix stephensons rocket.jpg|thumb|An assembled and painted Airfix "Rocket" kit]] 1:76 scale. Includes a small number of ex-[[Kitmaster]] kits. The moulds for these kits were sold to Dapol in the 1980s. === Military Vehicles === [[File:Airfix T34.JPG|thumb|1:76 scale [[T-34|T-34/85]]]] 1:32, 1:35, 1:72 and 1:76 scales. Airfix was the first company to release small-scale military vehicles in 1960 with the 1:72 [[Bristol Bloodhound]] with Launcher, SWB Land Rover and trailer. The original range of vehicles was in 1:76 scale, also known as OO scale. Also, a range of Military Vehicles sets was produced, such as the "RAF Refuelling Set", the "RAF Recovery Vehicle Set", and the "Airfield Fire Rescue Set" with accessories that could be used in dioramas. === [[Diorama]] sets === HO/OO scale World War II scenes including the "Battlefront History" series, consisting of a number of OO/HO vehicle or 1/72 aircraft kits and sets of OO/HO wargaming figures, presented on a vacuum-formed base. Also the "Rampaging Scorpion" and "Colossal Mantis" science fiction dioramas, which were re-boxed MPC kits. A new series of Airfield Sets has recently been released, with Aircraft, Military Vehicles and Figures included in the box. === Figures === 1:76, 1:72 and 1:32 scales. Sets of mostly [[toy soldiers|military figure]]s (approximately 14 to 30 per box for 1:32, 30 to 50 per box for 1:72), of subjects such as World War I, World War II and Modern Infantry, [[Battle of Waterloo|Waterloo]], Arab Tribesmen, etc. These are made of [[Polyethylene|polythene]], a soft durable plastic. Some vehicles of simpler casting and detail than their polystyrene equivalents and buildings were also available and included in larger [[playset]]s, e.g., the Coastal Defence Assault Set which included polythene tanks and infantry for either side plus a polystyrene Coastal Defence Fort kit. Collectors of vintage toy soldiers have reported brittling and disintegration of Airfix {{frac|1|76}} scale plastic figures, though not as an age-related effect&lt;ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.miniatures.de/plastic-corrosion-airfix-01723-paratroops.html |title=Brittling and Disintegration of Airfix's 1:76 Scale British Paratroops |publisher=IDL Software GmbH |date=15 May 2008 |access-date=2009-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090605030250/http://www.miniatures.de/plastic-corrosion-airfix-01723-paratroops.html |archive-date=2009-06-05 |url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref> ==== Multipose Figures ==== 1:32 scale. A small range of World War II figures in polystyrene that could be assembled in different poses. ==== Collector Series ==== 54&amp;nbsp;mm.

Also produced were a [[1st Duke of York's Own Skinner's Horse|Bengal Lancer]], a [[showjumper]] with horse (rumoured to have been based on the young [[Anne, Princess Royal|Princess Anne]]), a 1:6 scale human skeleton, and a [[James Bond]] and [[Oddjob]] paired kit. === Wildlife Series === 1:1 scale. Models of British garden birds in a diorama form, e.g., two [[bullfinch]]es on a branch. === [[Dinosaur]]s === A small range of kits of pre-historic dinosaurs, e.g., Tyrannosaurus Rex. === Museum Series === A small range of motorised engines. Includes a Beam Engine, Paddle Engine, [[Richard Trevithick#Coalbrookdale Locomotive|1804 Trevithick Locomotive]] and Four Stroke Cycle Engine. The re-issue of the Beam Engine and Trevithick Locomotive during 2009 omitted the electric motor and gears === ''Robogear'' === science fiction [[wargaming]] models. === ''Doctor Who'' === Models to tie in with the recent{{When|date=September 2023}} [[Doctor Who]] TV series including the [[TARDIS]].&lt;ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.airfix.com/doctor-who |title=Scale Plastic Model Kits by Airfix |publisher=Airfix.com |access-date=2009-11-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091111184344/http://www.airfix.com/doctor-who |archive-date=11 November 2009 |url-status=dead }}&lt;/ref> === ''Engineer'' === Models of moving engines with transparent parts to show details. Airfix also produced a small number of Card Construction kits for use with the Airfix Railway System. These were included with some Airfix GMR Train Sets. And various structures as the "Airfield Control Tower" and the "Pontoon Bridge". == Box art == Many artists have produced artwork for Airfix kit packaging, most famously [[Roy Cross (artist)|Roy Cross]].&lt;ref name="collecting-cross">May, 2009, p. 140&lt;/ref> == Model railways == In 1962 Airfix bought from Rosebud Kitmaster Ltd, its moulds and stock for the [[Rosebud Kitmaster|Kitmaster]] railway range. The models were adapted to be compatible with Airfix's rolling stock models produced from 1960 which went with Airfix's trackside accessories of a few years earlier.&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.airfixrailways.co.uk/History.htm |title=Airfix Related Items |publisher=Airfixrailways.co.uk |access-date=2010-06-08}}&lt;/ref> Only ten of the Kitmaster locomotives were released under Airfix. From 1975 to 1981 Airfix also manufactured a line of ready-to-run models of British railway stock in [[OO gauge]] ({{frac|1|76.2}} scale). Their details and accuracy were an improvement on rival products from other British manufacturers such as [[Hornby Railways|Hornby]]. The product range expanded rapidly. A model of a [[Great Western Railway]] (GWR) 0-4-2 autotank steam locomotive and GWR auto coach are amongst some of the many memorable and important product releases. Airfix also offered an analogue electronics-based multiple train control system (MTC) allowing independent control of locomotives on the same track. Airfix produced a large number of plastic kits for both railway stock and scenic items. Some of these such as the footbridge and engine shed became instantly recognisable to almost every railway modeller in the UK. The brand label was changed to Great Model Railways (GMR) in 1979, although the Airfix name was still included. However, Airfix left the model railway business in 1981. The models were sold to one of its main competitors [[Palitoy]] which produced the [[Mainline Railways|Mainline]] range of products. The former Airfix moulds together with the Palitoy-designed 2P 4-4-0 and [[British Rail Class 56|Class 56 diesel]] were later re-sold to [[Dapol]] Ltd and then subsequently to Hornby. Dapol provided new chassis for the 14xx and Castle. The remainder of the Mainline Railways had been produced for Palitoy by Kader Industries and ownership of those tools remained with Kader, is later used to form the basis of the [[Bachmann Branchline]] models. Dapol continues to produce (but not promote) most of the kits but as the moulds (some now over forty years old) wear out the kits are being discontinued. Hornby continues to make 4&amp;nbsp;mm/ft scale models from the Airfix mouldings. A monthly magazine, ''Model Trains'', was published by Airfix from January 1980. The magazine included especially good articles aimed at newcomers to the hobby and also included many articles about modelling US and Continental European railways, as well British prototype railways. The publication of ''Model Trains'' continued for some years after Airfix ceased ownership in 1981. A change in the editorial team saw the original ''Model Trains'' editorial staff launch a new title as ''Scale Trains'', in April 1982. A slight name change followed in April 1984, as ''Scale Model Trains'' following the final issue of ''Model Trains'' in December 1983. ''Scale Model Trains'' ran until June 1995, when a new publisher was found and the magazine was relaunched in 1995 as ''Model Trains International'', the November/December issue being issue number 1. It continues to be published.&lt;ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.modeltrainsinternational.co.uk/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi|title=Account Suspended|website=www.modeltrainsinternational.co.uk|accessdate=18 December 2022}}&lt;/ref> == Video game == In 2000, [[EON Digital Entertainment]] released ''[[Airfix Dogfighter]]'' for [[Microsoft Windows]]. The game featured computer representation of Airfix's Second World War-era model aircraft with a total of over 15 playable aircraft, including the German [[Messerschmitt Me 163]] Komet, and the American [[Grumman F6F Hellcat]]. The game featured 20 missions, allowing players to play 10 missions as both the Axis and Allies. Players fought their way through the game's 1950s-era house, destroying enemy planes while trying to collect healing glue packets, new model kits, weapons schematics, and paint to customise their aircraft for online battles. Pilots would battle enemy model aircraft as well as U-boats, warships, tanks, flak guns, airships, and fortresses. Players could also design their own fighting emblem, call sign, and even their own battle maps based on the missions in the game. The whole game was an advertising venture, as the paints are Humbrol and the kit upgrades show actual pictures of Airfix packages. == In popular culture == The Airfix history has ensured that the company, its products and its brand has entered modern culture, especially in the [[England|Anglo-centric]] world, in its own right.&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.open2.net/blogs/money/index.php/money/2007/12/03/airfix_kit_model_or_toy |title=Airfix: kit, model or toy? |publisher=Open2.net |access-date=2009-11-05| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080907073525/http://www.open2.net/blogs/money/index.php/money/2007/12/03/airfix_kit_model_or_toy| archive-date=September 7, 2008| url-status= live}}&lt;/ref> In 2008, a TV advertisement for the [[Grupo Santander|Santander bank]] was produced, featuring a fictitious [[Lewis Hamilton]] [[Formula One]] car model.&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalartsonline.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=10665 |title=Digital Arts |publisher=Digitalartsonline.co.uk |access-date=2009-11-05}}&lt;/ref> Demand for this model was such that Airfix later produced a real model kit using the tooling from a similar [[Scalextric]] [[slot car]].&lt;ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.britsonpole.com/airfix-lewis-hamilton-kit-coming-soon-post4820|title=Airfix Lewis Hamilton kit coming soon|last=Darley|first=Andy|date=3 November 2008|work=www.britsonpole.com|access-date=24 December 2009}}&lt;/ref> A life-size model of a [[Supermarine Spitfire|Spitfire]] in the style of an Airfix kit was made as part of the BBC TV series ''[[James May's Toy Stories]]'' in 2009.

Airfix kits were extensively used to create futuristic aircraft in the TV series Thunderbirds, the Airfix girder bridge also features in one of the episodes. A shop existed in the Elstree Borehamwood film studios from which Airfix kit components could be bought in the 1970's. This meant that space ships from the first Star Wars film (Episode 4, 1976) featured such components in the small Millennium Falcon models used in long shots. (This information was stated in the 1996 Star Wars exhibition cited in London's Barbican centre). These may have also been used for the space ship models in Alien (1979) by Ridley Scott. == References == === Notes === {{Reflist|30em}} === Bibliography === {{refbegin}} * {{cite book |last=Knight
