Thats fantastic news...
Even better that they are using Licensing deals for the new Doctor Who Tardis and figures, should get some of the younger kids interested in building there own kits and off the playstations in there bedrooms..

I grew up with Airfix.
I had loads of them, I think I was permanently high on the glue and paint fumes
Aeroplanes, tanks, soldiers, boats, cars, soldiers and cheap rolling stock for my Tri-ang trainset, although I always had to put a pebble in them rolling stock cos they was too light and would come off the rails unless you added some weight.
Hours spent painting tiny soldiers and spending all weekend in me bedroom staging elaborate wars with two of me mates.
And all this before them wargames shops.
Nostalgia It's a bitch 
Another thought - all those peeps who snapped up Airifx kits at inflated prices when their demise was announced - is their investment now forfeit?

That's a thought... Floppy's mention of glue fumes, etc., I wonder how they are getting around that particular "elf and safety" thing? Lots of odourless paints around, but what about the glue? Yes, I know there are odourless glues, but I have yet to discover any that actually stick effectively...... I have even failed with so-called "super-glue" ...or is that just me?

Top Tip
Leeks are notouriously difficult to fix with glue . Try jubilee clips as they are the right shape .
