What's new for 2009
is the Aircraft category and 2009 sees a huge leap
forward in the choice of models on offer, appealing
to all ages and model building experience.
We look at the growing range
of Airfix kits, particularly the brand new tooling
selected for 2009. This year also marks 60 years of
Airfix, which started in 1949. The 2009 catalogue
containing the full detail of all this year’s ranges has
been published and is available from your local Airfix
retailer now.
The selection goes from WWII
right up to the present day, with
lots of new tooling and the
return of classic models which
have been given literally a new
coat of paint, with further
decal schemes to enhance your
aviation collection.
The catchword for the new range is Quality, which
extends from the product itself to the new improved
packaging and box art.
One of the most important parts of the Airfix range
Historic Ships and Marine Vessels
Two new introductions on
existing tooling comprise
The highlight of the 2009 Airfix series is the magnificent
1:350 scale model of HMS Illustrious. Newly tooled
for this year, we featured this impressive ship
extensively in Issue 5.
Under model number A14201, ‘Lusty’
as she is known, when constructed
will be 603mm long and 104mm wide.
A04205 HMS Warspite – one of the most famous
Royal Navy ships of the 20th Century. Covering
two World Wars with outstanding and heroic
service from 1916 to the end of WWII, she was
finally scrapped in 1950.
Airfix specification: 1:600 scale. 134 pieces.
A04210 HMS Iron Duke – named after the 1st
Duke of Wellington, served as the Royal Navy
Grand Fleet flagship during WWI. She was also
used in a secondary role in WWII before being
finally scrapped in 1948. The Airfix model is also
1:600 scale with 183 pieces.

Military Aircraft
The Military and Civil Aircraft range includes eleven brand new introductions as well as
several models with modified tooling, not only enhancing the originals but creating even
greater authenticity and realism.
Advanced Jet Trainer (AJT) for the RAF and the Royal Navy, whilst 132 was produced for
the Indian Air Force. The Airfix kit has 100 pieces with two variations.
Two new Sea Harriers take their place on the Airfix airfield this year. A03078 is the Sea
Harrier FRS1, famous for its exemplary role in the Falklands War of 1982. It comes with
112 pieces to construct. It is joined by A03079, Sea Harrier FA2, first deployed in 1994
as part of the UN force in Bosnia. It was the first UK aircraft to be provided with the AIM120 AMRAAM missile. The Airfix kit comprises 115 pieces.
A brand new tool for the famous Red Arrows Aerobatic Display Team’s Hawk sees a 1:72
scale Airfix kit appearing in the Team’s 2009 livery. A02005 comprises 65 pieces and just
the one colour scheme.
Several iconic aircraft of WWII are also the subject of new 1:72 scale tooling. Airfix model
number A02017- Spitfire PRXIX represents the reconnaissance unarmed Spitfire capable
of 370mph at 40,000 ft and a range of 1500 miles. The XIX represented the most advanced
development of the Spitfire at the time. Also look out for A02065 a new Supermarine
Spitfire Mk IXc, representing the upgraded aircraft the RAF needed to combat the Fw190
that the Germans had introduced in 1941.
New 1:48 scale tooling under the Military Aircraft heading include the A10106 H.S.Sea
Vixen FAW.2. This two-seat jet fighter, produced by de Havilland, belongs to the 1950s60s era when it was used by the Fleet Air Arm on aircraft carriers. It served well into the
1970s. What’s more, the Airfix version carries Limited Edition status, so is well worth
putting on your order list.
The Airfix model comes with 38 pieces and 2 kit variations. The Hawker Hurricane of
WWII has always been overshadowed by the Spitfire but it was a superb little warrior.
The new Airfix model – A02096 replicates the Hawker Hurricane Mk IIc, the cannonequipped version, with four 20mm Hispano-Suiza wing-mounted cannons. There are three
kit variations included.
Another new Airfix introduction represents one of the RAF’s deadliest adversaries in the
WWII battle of the skies. The Messerschmitt BF109G – ‘Gustav’ G6, of which 12,000 were
built between 1943 and 1944, recorded hundreds of ‘kills’ against allied aircraft, using
their formidable 13mm machine guns. This new A02029 Airfix kit comprises 38 pieces
with three variations and will complement your existing WWII fleet.
Moving on a decade, another new Airfix introduction is that of the MiG 15 swept-wing
fighter that made its mark in the Korean War of the 1950s, outclassing all other enemy
fighters. A02037 in 1:72 scale contains 53 pieces and comes with 2 kit variations.
The Modern Military 1:72 scale Aircraft category sees some significant new introductions
in 2009. First off is the A03072 Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer S1B/S2-C-D-S Mk 50 – not
a new tool but containing additional new parts.
This aircraft replaced to some extent the cancelled TSR.2 and the F-111K, being
designed as a low-level strike aircraft for the Fleet Air Arm and subsequently transferred
to the RAF.
A03073 represents the BAe Hawk 128/132, first introduced in 2007. The 128 is the new

Airfix Gift Sets
Whatever the age or experience of an Airfix modeller, this category of Airfix sets provides a
perfect and complete gift for an enthusiast. Each set comes with one or more model kits
and includes the paint, brush and glue required to put the whole thing together. Some also
come with stands, posters, booklets and other supplementary information telling the complete
story behind the model.
Two further additions to the series include A50060 WWI – The Western Front featuring a
1:72/1:76 scale diorama of a typical trench layout. Look out too for the Dambusters Gift
Set in 1:72 scale under reference A50061, which has 108 pieces to construct.
From conventional flight to space exploration – two new sets celebrate the Apollo 11 mission
which saw man land on the moon on 16th July 1969. A09170 comprises the modified
tooling of the Apollo Saturn V launch vehicle in 1:144 scale. It comes in 72 pieces.
Turning from heroes of the air to iconic figures of F1 Racing, in 2009 you can also have
Lewis Hamilton’s Vodafone McLaren Mercedes MP4-21 car which just clicks and screws
together. And this accurate replica comes pre-painted to bring instant pleasure to your display.
The 1:32 scale kit, with 17 pieces even includes the man himself who just needs positioning
in the winning driver’s seat.
Team it up with A50106 the 93-piece Lunar Module in 1:72 scale reproducing the Apollo
spacecraft that landed on the moon.
The Airfix Themed Collection of Ships sees two more ships sailing into the range –
A50046 The Golden Hind, the famous galleon of Sir Francis Drake, with 109 pieces to keep
you busy, comes in 1:72 scale. The second new addition is a 1:700 scale replica of the
ill-fated Titanic which sank on her maiden voyage across the Atlantic in 1912. The Airfix
replica of the largest passenger steamship of the time, has 141 pieces under model
number A50104.
The Themed Collections catergory also includes the new 1:72 scale Vulcan XH558 ‘Vulcan
to the Sky’, celebrating the restoration to flying condition of the only airworthy Vulcan in
the world in October 2007. The aircraft comes in 108 pieces with six kit variations.

Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Collection
In conjunction with the BBMF now based at RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire, Airfix are proud to include this nostalgic
series of British wartime aircraft which pays tribute to the courageous aircrews of WWII.
A50028 BBMF Dakota C47 ‘Berlin Airlift’. 1:72 Scale.
Despite the end of WWII hostilities, the Soviet Union – putting pressure on the Western
Alliance – formed a blockade around Berlin, trapping the citizens and leaving them without
freedom of movement or adequate supplies. Over a period of many months, the Allied planes
involved in the dropping aid to the Berliners managed to carry over two million tonnes of
supplies during 270,000 flights. The blockade was finally lifted on 12th May 1949. This Airfix
Gift Set comprises 79 pieces with two kit variations. It also contains the paint, decals, glue
and brushes necessary to construct the set.
A50055 BBMF Spitfire Mk Vb. 1:24 scale.
This Airfix kit replicates the aircraft flown by Jan Zumbach, the famous Polish Battle of Britain
fighter ace. The kit contains the paint, brushes and glue needed but also contains a new
electric motor enabling your model to have a working propeller option.
A50065 BBMF Five Fighter Collection. 1:72 scale.
This set gives you five of the seven iconic aircraft associated with the Battle of Britain – the
Spitfire MkIIa, Spitfire Mk Vb, Spitfire Mk IIXe, Spitfire Mk PR XIX and the Hurricane Mk IIc.
All come with a display stand as well as paints, glue and brushes.
Military Vehicles & Figures
A02335 Matilda ‘Hedgehog’. 1:76 scale.
Based on the British Matilda tank, and fitted with a 7 spigot ‘Hedgehog’ naval mortar,
this variant was developed by the Australian Army. 72 pieces. 1 kit variation.
A04301 Churchill Bridge Layer. 1:76 scale.
A variant of the Churchill tank, the bridge layer was created by the Royal Engineers and
carried a 30ft long Small Box Girder (SBG) bridge. 124 pieces. 1 kit variation.
This popular series of 1:76 scale models of armoured
fighting vehicles and tanks features one new piece of
modified tooling and two new variants on existing
tooling in 2009.
WWI enthusiasts will be pleased to see modified tooling in the shape of the A02337 WWI
‘Female’ Tank which was used extensively on the Western Front where its four Vickers
machine guns mounted on the side were found to be more effective than the heavier guns
carried by the ‘male’ counterpart.
The Airfix model comes as a single kit with no variations. To partner the model, look out
for A01315 the WWI Male Tank. In real life, this tank first saw action in September 1916.
The Airfix kit comprises 47 pieces and comes as a single kit without further variations.
Moving on to WWII, A02316 DUKW features 50 pieces and comes as a single kit,
representing the six-wheel drive amphibious truck that was used extensively during key
WWII conflicts including the D-Day invasion on the Normandy beaches, the invasion of
Sicily and the crossing of the river Rhine.
To create further realism in your Airfix diorama, you can always add figures. The 2009
Airfix selection contains nine more in 1:32 scale. They all come with 14 pieces, as follows:

The Doctor faces the
'Daleks in
Manhattan'
Airfix has recreated the iconic
‘Daleks in Manhattan’ set which
featured in the third series of the
BBC’s award winning drama.
6
This set features two 1:12 scaled Daleks. The first, Dalek
Sec, is built with the front opened showing the inside with
Dalek alien sitting at the controls. The second, Dalek Caan,
is presented in the menacing closed state.
Dalek Sec is reborn in human form, and plans to build a
Dalek Empire. While Martha fights for her life at the top
of the Empire State Building, the Doctor must enter an
unholy alliance, in order to change Dalek history forever.
When built, the pair can be placed on the fabulous‘set’
provided with the kit. All paints, glue and brushes are
included with the set, as well as the electronic
components to bring these monstrous beings to life by
way of actual dialogue from the episode plus lighting
effects. The set is available generally and will retail at
around £34.99 (UK).
As we go to press, the BBC have just announced the
new Doctor – Matt Smith, who will become the eleventh
Doctor in a new forthcoming series in 2010, replacing
David Tennant.
David Tennant was last seen in the The 2008 Doctor Who
Christmas Special which drew a record audience of
viewers.
The BBC episode was televised on 21st April 2007 as
one of a two-part storyline, which concluded in the
‘Evolution of the Daleks’. Starring David Tennant as
'the Doctor', with his companion, Freema Agyeman
(Martha Jones), this story takes place in 1930’s
New York. In the midst of the Depression, people
are disappearing off the streets. Savage Pig Men
hide in the sewers, and at the very top of the Empire
State Building, the Doctor’s oldest enemies are at
work, preparing their most audacious plan yet.

The new Humbrol tool sets provides knife, tweezers, file, drill, sprue cutters
and cutting mat - everything you’ll need for the job.
2
The sprue attachment points on the turret can be easily cleaned up with a file.
3
These hemispheres - actually the Dalek sensor globes - go onto the lower
panels. Sprue cutters make a quick job of removing them.
4
The Dalek gun can be improved by drilling out the end of the barrel.
5
Both Daleks come with lights and sound. The batteries are housed in the base.
6
The lights and sound are housed in the turret and just require the wires to be
screwed into place.
7
The upper sections of the Dalek body consist of the gun mount, grilles and turret.
8
The bottom skirts are made up of several sections that slot into the base.
With the upper structure in place the Dalek comes together very quickly.
9
The various components for Dalek Caan painted gold and awaiting final
construction.
10 The infamous Dalek “manipulator arm” gets a coat of Humbrol 33 matt black.
11 The lower panels have a raised ring that needs to be painted black - a simple
cheat it to use a CD marker pen.
12 Each of the sensor globes is carefully glued into place - a task not to be rushed.
13 Dalek Caan in all its golden glory.
14 The Kaled mutant that drives the Dalek machine - a coat of tan coloured paint
and careful dry brushing will bring it to life.
15 Dalek Sec can be opened up to expose the interior. Here one of the mechanism
arms has been constructed, awaiting paint.
16 The subassemblies of Dalek Sec awaiting to be painted black.
17 Dalek Sec complete with mutant operator.

IPMS ‘Beyond the Box’Special Interest Group
Let's start at the beginning. This is a hobby and a hobby
should be fun...So, here’s a bit of history about the ‘Beyond
the Box’ SIG. Whilst attending SMW 2005, a couple of my
fellow modellers suggested I build something different
with the Airfix Austin A35 Van.
By Nick Allen
Always up for a challenge, I talked myself into converting the van into a
Hovercraft, so long as they agreed to build something equally as insane and in
line with the sort of contraptions Wallace & Gromit would invent. I agreed to be
their leader (what do they say in the military, never volunteer?), ah well someone's
got to!
Anyway, long story short, we eventually formed the 'Beyond the Box' SIG, a bunch
of like minded loonies all in one pot, so you can imagine what sort of crazy
schemes we're going to come up with. In 2006 we had the very successful 'AntiPesto' build where we used the Airfix A35 Van and figures from the Aardman film,
'Curse of the Were-Rabbit', resulting in over 30 unique converted models and
figures, including the fully working Hovercraft.
I wish I could decipher just what we did on this first build because the line of
visitors rarely fell below three deep all weekend. Folks kept coming back over and
over again chuckling. I think we achieved the aim of putting the fun back into
modelling.
Hot on the heels of the success of the 2006 build, in 2007 we had the 'Wacky
Racers' build - unfortunately, not as successful as the previous build but a lot of
fun never the less.
2008 saw the return of 'Wallace & Gromit'. This time the theme was 'At the Movies’,
again attracting over 30 amazing entries.
All the past builds and the current build are documented on the IPMS (UK)
Forum: http://ipmsuk.proboards20.com including several WIP threads. The ‘Wacky
Racers’ threads are certainly entertaining as various cyber characters were invented
and added to the thread just for the build, including Ivor Plan, PC Plod, Masterspy
and various other characters.
In 2009, we're keeping within the theme of the Aardman characters but this time,
it's ‘Shaun the Sheep and Friends’ enter 'Scrapheap Challenge’. If you have never
watched the Channel 4 series over the past 10 years, here's a brief
scenario of what it's all about. Two teams, together with an expert,
are given just 10 hours to produce a useful item from a given theme
out of scrap.
There have been many challenges including a bridge layer, fire
boat, missile launcher, steam powered vehicle
and a submarine.
Will the 2009 display be a success?
Why not come along to SMW in November and
judge for yourself?
All models shown are created by IPMS 'Beyond the Box' Special Interest Group
and are not creations of Aardman/Wallace & Gromit Limited.

The recent Doctor Who kits are not the first licensed toys
of popular film or television programmes to be made by
Airfix. That honour probably goes to a range of pre-school
toys produced 60 years ago, before Airfix started to make
its famous construction kits which would, of course, make
it a household name.
PAST & PRESENT...
Airfix Licensing
By
Jeremy Brook
David Hand, a successful animator for Walt Disney and who had worked on Bambi, came to
Britain in the late 1940’s, where he produced a series of popular cartoons which were shown
mainly at the cinema, because, of course, very few people had televisions in those days.
The cartoons were called “Animaland” and featured twelve characters, the most popular of
which was a certain “Ginger Nutt, Esq”. Airfix made a five-inch (12 cm) model of him which
enjoyed good sales.
However, once Airfix had started kit production, they began to look at suitable films and
programmes from which they could produce licensed kits. In 1956, Airfix produced a model
of a 1904 Darracq veteran car which was similar to the vehicle used in the earlier hit film
“Genevieve” and this detail was included on the back of the folded header. However, it was
never sold as “Genevieve” so it may not have been a licensed kit as such.
One of the first and probably the most successful range of licensed kits was for the new
James Bond series of films which began in 1962 with “Doctor No”. Airfix was quick to see
the potential success of these films and secured a licence to market kits beginning with the
third film, “Goldfinger” in 1964.
The first of five “James Bond” kits was a 1:12 scale model of James Bond and Oddjob released
in 1965. The figures were on separate bases but these could be interlinked so that the two
figures could fight. This was quickly followed in 1967 by a superb 1:24 scale replica of
James Bond’s Aston Martin DB5 complete with all the working parts and gizmos. Even the
ejector seat worked! Such is the nature of licensed products that often they are only available
for a short period. Consequently, original kits are fairly scarce nowadays and are, therefore,
highly collectible.
The good news for younger James Bond fans is that “James Bond and Oddjob” was rereleased a few years ago by Humbrol. Unfortunately, the DB5 is very unlikely to return as it
is believed that the mould was altered some years later into a standard DB6.
The next James Bond-linked kit was a 1:24 scale model of the Toyota 2000GT that featured
in “You Only Live Twice”. Also released from the same film was a lovely little 1:24 scale
replica of the Wallis Autogyro “Little Nellie”, flown by James Bond in the film. “Little Nellie”
was also released by Humbrol alongside Odd Job, so you should still be able to get one if
you look hard enough.
The fifth and final kit was a 1:144 scale model of the “Moonraker” spaceship from the film
of the same name which was first advertised over 10 years after the last kit. It was
basically a Space Shuttle kit in different markings and with a large picture of Roger Moore
on the box.
Airfix went bankrupt in early 1981 but was ‘rescued’ by a large American firm, General Mills,
later that year. The new owners issued lots of U.S.-originated kits from lots of popular television
series of the times. Some of these programmes can be seen today on the lesser-used Sky
channels but clearly do not have the same impact as when they were first shown. Also when
Airfix was sold to Humbrol in 1986, most, if not all, the licensed kits disappeared back to
the States.
However, the release of three new Star Wars films has brought some of the Airfix released
kits back onto the market but now only under their American label.
Humbrol’s first licensing deal was in 1987, when three 1:72 scale aircraft from the hit movie
“Top Gun” were released. These were basically existing Airfix kits but with the decals and
paint schemes to simulate the actual aircraft from the film.
Then in 2001, Airfix secured a licence to sell “Wallace & Gromit” items. Three kits were
moulded specially and included the “Motorbike & Sidecar”, “Aeroplane” and “Anti-pesto
Van”. All three are currently available and we can probably look forward to further items
due to the enduring popularity of the programmes.
Following the Hornby takeover of Airfix, it was decided to look for possible licence deals with
current programmes. “Shaun the Sheep” was an obvious choice given the success of
“Wallace & Gromit”, but the enormously successful new series of “Doctor Who” also attracted
the attention of Airfix’s planners.
The first of a growing range of kits appeared early last year and more details of the latest kit
are given in this issue. However, they are not the first “Doctor Who” products to be produced
by Airfix.
Doctor Who first appeared on our black and white T.V. screens on 23 November 1963. By
the mid 1970s it had become an extremely popular series, even if the sets did wobble! In the
mid 1970s, the Arts and Crafts division of Airfix released a series of “New Artist” painting
sets featuring the then current Doctor Who, Tom Baker.
Kits of Doctor Who would not be readily available until 2008 and feature the recently 'retired'
Doctor Who, David Tennant with his assistant Martha and the TARDIS. Older members are
now able to make a kit of the Daleks, even if we have had to wait 45 years!
If you wish to find out more about Airfix’s other licensed kits then either use the link on the
Club’s website to find more details about “Constant Scale” and the ”Airfix Collectors’ Club”
or read Arthur Ward’s recent book “TV and Film Toys and Ephemera”, published by Crowood
Press in 2007.
