Thanks for the link. Very interesting. I started collecting Airfix figures and models in early 60's with the gurards and color party and German Infantry. Collecting just about all of them. I have Airfix Magazine from 60's to 80's when I switched to Military Modeling and War-games Illustrated. It was fun to see the original development of the firm, and the increasing kits and other products. The video got a bit boring with all the transfers of ownership. Strange how General Mills and Bordens got into toys. Nonetheless, informative information on where I have spent thousands of dollars over my life time :) |

I enjoyed watching that. Probably most interesting to 40+ year olds? Excellent martin |

That was interesting to me too! I never realised that Airfix has such an eventful history! It was always just there for me as a child! |

Loved it. The Marx museum had a film of their history also. Wonder if it is floating around the web someplace? Russ Dunaway |

Gawd, I miss Airfix, great little models and plastic soldiers. Pair them up with Roco Tanks. |
