Airfix in scale 1/144

Post by teddybeer »

While putting away my models of planes, I realized that a certain number represented Airfix models.
So, influence or hold ?

That reminds me of a theme I did a few years ago "Honey, I shrunk the kits". Perhaps we could do something again like that within the SIG? The way I did it was to build the kit and then scan the box art from the larger scale kit, reduce it to 1:144 size and display behind the model.

And here are other models in 1/144 whose purchase or assembly were directly inspired by Airfix because, first of the boxart ... (let's be frank, it's been dreaming ... :lol: ), then of the decoration or the plane itself.
