Airfix Vintage Classics: Revisiting the Nostalgic Mould Tools of 1961

The iconic Airfix brand has been captivating generations of young enthusiasts since its early days in the 1950s. Now, the Airfix Vintage Classics series invites you to rediscover the joy and challenge of these beloved models, harkening back to the pre-Hornby era when each kit was a unique masterpiece.

The Panther, a renowned German tank developed initially to counter the formidable Soviet T-34, first saw major combat at the Battle of Kursk in the spring of 1943. With the correction of production-related mechanical difficulties, this fearsome weapon became highly popular among German tankers, earning a reputation as a formidable force on the battlefield.

These "new" Vintage Classics feature kits from the pre-CAD era, each adorned with a classic illustration that evokes a sense of nostalgia. While these models may present a greater challenge for today's modelers, it is precisely this aspect that adds to the brilliance of this hobby.

The Mould Tools used to create these Vintage Classics were originally crafted in 1961, and the Illustration by G. Schule from the same year serves as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship of the era. These kits offer a unique opportunity to step back in time and experience the joy of building models that were once the hallmark of childhood adventures.

Painting is required for these Vintage Classics, and the necessary Humbrol Paints are listed on the outside of each box, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the creative process.
