The company is renowned for its detailed and accurate representations of aircraft, military vehicles, and ships.
Some of the most iconic Airfix kits include the 1/72 Scale Supermarine Spitfire, a symbol of British aviation during World War II, and the 1/72 Scale Messerschmitt Bf 109, representing the Luftwaffe's prowess. The 1/48 Scale Hawker Hurricane and the 1/72 Scale HMS Victory are also notable, showcasing Airfix's commitment to quality and historical accuracy.
