Description

During the Korean War, the Sabre posted an impressive victory to loss ratio of 10:1 and helped 40 US pilots to achieve the coveted status of air ‘Ace’ during the conflict. Classic Airfix kits by the dozen In its early beginnings, Airfix started off selling inflatable rubber toys and plastic hair combs (after the Second World War). It was only until Airfix was approached by Harry Ferguson (the tractor manufacturer) that they began producing tractor model kits - which was a huge success. HMS Fearless was a popular suggestion when we recently asked readers to nominate which models they would like to see joining the Vintage Classics range.

This new concept of starter set first appeared in our 2020 range, with the announcement of our new Spitfire, Hawk T.1, Tiger and Sherman tank kits, and following release, immediately proved to be a hit with modellers of all ages and abilities. Remaining faithful to the beautiful lines of the aircraft or vehicle on which they are based, the hope is that once several of these kits have been enjoyed by a modeller, they will be ready to progress to kits within our standard ranges, with a whole world of modelling enjoyment before them. The three newly tooled models added to this range are the Bugatti Chiron, the Pagani Huayra and the timeless supercar classic that is the Jaguar E-Type. Having already had the opportunity to inspect the prototype models of each new design, we can confirm that they all feature impressive levels of detail, with the spoked wheels of the E-Type being particularly noteworthy. Looking for iconic models? You can’t go wrong with popular airplane models like the Airfix Spitfire, Buccaneer, Hurricane and Typhoon. Airfix soldiers are also a must-have! Adding a little classic styling to our new trio of Starter Set car kits, can any vehicle possibly claim to be in the same ‘looks league’ as the stunning Jaguar E-Type?Models & Hobbies 4U is where you’ll find quality Airfix models, beginner model kits, accessories and more! Building into a really impressive kit, the re-introduction of the Navy Lynx will see modellers presented with three colourful and attractive schemes in which to consider finishing their helicopter, from a classic Fleet Air Arm machine, to a real stunner from the Royal Danish Navy. It will be so nice to have rotary kit subject matter in this popular scale once again. Headline news - 2022 new tooling announcements

Moving on to our 1/35th scale Military Vehicle range, the three new models added this year all saw service with the German Military during the Second World War, with two being specialist adaptations of the Panzer IV chassis and the other one of the most famous tank designs in the history of warfare. Both the Sturmpanzer IV Brummbär and Stug IV Sd.Kfz.167 used the existing Panzer IV production lines to develop mobile assault guns to support Wehrmacht operations, with the Brummbär having the job of dealing with heavily fortified enemy positions. These three new tooling additions to the range come in addition to the new Austin K2/Y Ambulance we have yet to welcome to the range, so it could be argued that 2022 will see the addition of four appealing new tooling projects to our 1/35th scale Military Vehicle range. We hope to be in a position to bring you a K2/Y update in the very near future.

Rotary modellers will be delighted to see the return of the Westland Navy Lynx in the impressive 1/48th scale. Of more traditional design the Panzer III is a classic tank, one which we are all used to seeing on wartime footage, particularly during the early stages of WWII. The Panzer III was in actual fact only available in relatively small numbers at the time of the German invasion of Poland, with around 180 tanks supplementing the more numerous, faster and lighter Panzer I and II tanks. Despite the popular misconception that Germany began the war having placed huge investment in tank production, much of the early burden of mechanized Blitzkrieg was born by smaller, lighter tanks and enemy machines captured and pressed into Wehrmacht service. Okay, we have skirted around the main event for long enough now, so let’s get on to the subject which we know commands the most reader attention following the launch of any new range, our new aircraft and military vehicle tooling announcements for the coming year. Representing another significant year of investment in the Airfix brand, in addition to the three vehicle kits already covered, we also have four new aircraft kits joining the range in 2022, in addition to a further three new military vehicle toolings in our 1/35th scale range. In 1/72nd scale, we can look forward to the arrival of the Gloster Meteor F.8, a later development of the only British jet fighter to see operational service during the Second World War and a thoroughbred early jet design if ever their was on. In contrast to this, our historic 1/24th scale ‘Superkit’ range can now boast the inclusion of an impressive new Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IXc, but we will have more on this kit a little later.

One of the front runners in our recent poll, the de Havilland Canada Beaver will be a popular addition to the latest Vintage Classics range. Clearly, any collection of new tooling projects Airfix announce will usually delight some, whilst disappointing others, particularly as our designers are tasked with producing new kits to cover different subject matter and to satisfy specific areas of our extensive product range. That being said, each new project can only progress to the design stage once our hugely experienced team have assessed its merits and how it will take an important place in the continuing Airfix story - none of these decisions are taken lightly. Perhaps of even greater importance to modellers, this year’s range announcement is the confirmation of continued significant new tooling investment in the brand and consequently, some spectacular new kits for us all to look forward to. One of the most important aircraft of the early jet era, the North American F-86 Sabre was in many ways a jet powered version of the company’s hugely successful P-51D Mustang from WWII and an aircraft which made full use of captured German aerodynamic research material. Featuring a distinctive 35 degree wing sweep, the Sabre also incorporated three nose mounted .50 calibre machine guns positioned on either side of the aircraft’s nose, with this jet powered gunslinger sharing many design philosophies with its famous piston engined predecessor. On entering service with the U.S Air Force in 1949, the North American F-86 Sabre would have the distinction of not only being America’s first swept wing fighter, but also the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at that time, a true aviation classic. Fun Fact: The name ‘Airfix’ originated from the process of fixating air into its models or products! Here at Airfix HQ, we realise that the return to work after a nice Christmas and New Year break can be quite a challenge for many, so we came up with a little something to try and ease that transition somewhat, particularly for those of us with modelling in our blood - the release of our latest extensive product range. The culmination of many months of work by every member of the Airfix Team and utilising the specialist skills of our on-line department, everything seemed to proceed without a hitch this year, something which has not always been the case at range launch. As scheduled, on Monday afternoon last, a new collection of Airfix delights was unleashed on an expectant modelling world and if our web stats are to be believed, tens of thousands of people from all over the world were waiting to see what we had to offer them over the coming twelve months.Over the years, Airfix expanded to supply even more toys and models including engines, motorcycles, Airfix model car kits (modern to vintage), ships, spaceships, as well as accessories and among many others tools.

The Panzer III Ausf (model) J was a later production development of this famous tank and one which represented quite an advancement over earlier models. A slightly redesigned hull allowed for the addition of increased armour protection and a new gun mantlet facilitated the installation of the more powerful 50 mm KwK 38 L42 gun, although these modifications did take far too long in development. By the time this variant of Panzer III entered service with Panzer Divisions on the Eastern Front, they were struggling to match the heavily armed Soviet KV-1 and T-34 tanks they were facing, and in addition to this, the larger ammunition used by the new gun reduced the internal stowage capacity from 90 to 84 rounds. Although the Ausf. J was the most heavily produced variant of this famous tank, by 1943, the Panzer III was outclassed on the battlefield and not produced as a tank any more, although the main chassis was still used in the production of the excellent Sturmgeschütz III assault gun/tank destroyers.
