Airfix Build & Convert 1 - Military Models

The Airfix range of "military vehicles" began in 1960 with the Bristol Bloodhound Surface to Air Missile which was released originally as part of their expanding aircraft range. Whilst the Bloodhound was technically an 'aircraft' and the Land Rover included in the kit has only a passing resemblance to anything that ever passed through this iconic British car plant, this is seen as the first 'military vehicle kit' released by Airfix and the range has been expanding, albeit at varying rates ever since. The quality of these kits has always been variable with some very good ones and some generally quite poor but all benefit from some extra detailing work..
