Links to other interesting Web Sites

• excellent images
• a picture of the very first Airfix kit - the Ferguson tractor (in 1950s plastic bag)
• a complete listing, with images, of the Airfix catalogues

What of the rest ? Unfortunately, there are not many !

There's the Airfix site itself at www.airfix.com. It is much better than it used to be, having been completely replaced in November 1999. There's nothing here for the collector, though.

Hat Industrie produce scale figures - don't click yet ! Read on - If you follow their site through "Everything Toy Soldiers" you end up with a list of articles about toy soldiers which often contain much information about the Airfix HO/OO sets.

There are hundreds of Airfix kits available for sale on eBay:
