Seeing the same old box art brings back memories of my childhood. Good to see the tradition continue. I have a soft spot for Airfix stuff.

QUOTE(angora @ Sep 26 2007, 08:10 AM)  Seeing the same old box art brings back memories of my childhood. Good to see the tradition continue. I have a soft spot for Airfix stuff. Really retro stuff. Had a good look on the site and it brought back great memories of times long time past. My first wargaming figures were Airfix. I think the first box of figures I brought was the US Cavelry. Nice to see all the old box art. Go Airfix!!! -------------------- |

Good to see them back - plenty of good memories there.
I still have and use Airfix vehicles for my 20mm WWII armies - they really have stood the test of time! -------------------- Never teach a pig to sing - it wastes your time and annoys the pig.

That was fast work.
It took Humbrol years to finally kill it off due to incompetence (well, they ARE french). Yet, another British company with the will to preserve this part of modelmaking history, takes less than a year to resurrect it. 3 Cheers for Hornby. Yep, the model train people now own Humbrol, Airfix and all. Not waiting for the price rises to cover the costs, though. -------------------- Not sent from my Lumia800 using the microwave as a proxy server.
