The 2008 UK Airfix catalogue features model-making kits for Doctor Who and Wallace and Gromit along with the typical military vehicles and soldiers the Airfix brand is famous for. The high-quality 97 page catalogue was aimed at the UK market and is packed with wonderful photographs. Below are a few sample scans.
Thanks for looking!
I’m pleased to add these five new UK ads for leading model kit producer Airfix. The adverts, from 1982 and 1983, promote some of the kits available at the time as well as the Airfix Modellers Club. The final ad is a Boots the chemist promotion offering a 25% seasonal discount.
You can see my main Airfix post here containing a number of International adverts.

Scalecraft Model kits were produced by the Eldon toy company in the UK from the late 1950s up to 1977 when they were taken over by Airfix. Typical Scalecraft sets featured cars, military vehicles, boats and aeroplanes. They came as ‘snap-together’ kits and were sometimes motorised.
