Now you’re here you can also enter one of our two competitions:

1) If you’re aged from 5 to 8 send in a picture or painting of your favourite Airfix model. This can be a plane flying, a ship sailing, a car on a race-track, or anything else you’d like to enter.

2) If your aged 9 to 11 then design a strip cartoon (similar to Peanuts or Garfield for example) with no more than 5 windows involving anything to do with Airfix. For example this could be a funny story involving two friends who try to outdo each other building more and more kits.
