Airfix - A Selection other Kits from the 50´s and 60´s

This is no complete List of AIRFIX kits. An excellent complete listing of Airfix kits with much background information is given in the CD Airfix Colectors Guide .
Highly recommended !

As opposed to the section Airfix kits I remember I list here kits from my Airfix collection which I did not have in my youth and found collectible in these days.

I use the classifications of packaging styles as defined by the Airfix Collectors Club, which are explained in detail in the highly recommended website Collecting Airfix Kits .

Three packaging styles are relevant here : Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 . Type 2 headers resp. boxtops have been used by Airfix since about 1959 / 60, Type 3 headers and boxtops has been used from 1963 to 1973.
