THE BOY'S BOOK OF AIRFIX

(Subject: Military Modelling & Wargaming) Founded in 1939 by Hungarian Nicholas Kove, Airfix holds a unique appeal for boys (and girls) of all ages and has been part of the fabric of childhood for generations. Packed with photos of the kits from the 1950s to the present,this Book is a nostalgic look at one of the greatest brands ever. In addition to the history behind the models it tells of the dramatic twists and turns of the Airfix saga. In 2006 it looked as if the great name might disappear forever when it languished in receivership, only for the company to be rescued by Hornby. If you were ever responsible for sending an Airfix Messerschmidt to a fiery doom from your bedroom window, this book is for you!
