Airfix - A Selection other Kits from the 50´s ,60´s and 70´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 would have liked to have in my youth or I found collectible in these days. There are a couple of civil aircraft , too, which I bought in the 1970 and which were left unbuilt.

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.
