Airfix

Welcome to this first edition of our Workbench blog for 2026, and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.The start to any new year is an extremely busy time for the Airfix team, and the wider modelling community, as we prepare to unleash our latest collection of model kits on an expectant modelling world, something we did once again last Wednesday. As we know everyone will still probably be analysing the finer points of the range to see which of the new kits will be finding their way into their own personal modelling logbooks this year, we wanted to let you crack on with this for another week or so, but still throw the blog spotlight on one of the new kit additions made earlier this week.The Airfix Club has long been a feature of our proud modelling tradition and in recent years, has experienced something of a triumphant rejuvenation, with membership bringing real and tangible benefits for modellers of all ages, abilities and subject preferences. One of those benefits is an exclusive Club kit, an offering which has become something of a cherished tradition within the hobby and one we’re proud to continue with this year’s package.In this latest edition of Workbench, we will be taking this opportunity to introduce our readers to the latest Airfix Club kit, one which is intended to mark a significant anniversary occasion for one of Europe’s most compelling air forces, and two aircraft types which span 65 years of Swedish Air Force service.Please join us as we get airborne with the Airfix Club kit for 2026 and our scale tribute to the centenary celebrations of the Svenska Flygvapnet.

As most of us will still be clinging steadfastly to the festive spirit on this first Friday in the new year, we thought we’d embark on a new year of Workbench blogs by updating one of our popular editions from last year, particularly as we now find ourselves in possession of built model samples of the kit in question. As our subject aircraft just happens to be arguably the most famous piston engined aircraft to have ever graced world skies, we didn’t think there would be too many dissenting voices amongst our, particularly as this variant marks a powerful new direction for this potent performer.Unquestionably the highest profile design to come from the British aviation industry, the Supermarine Spitfire served throughout the Second World War and beyond, with ever more examples undergoing restoration to airworthy condition, such is the enduring fascination with this aircraft. Our new kit subject for this latest edition really is something special, only the second stand-alone kit release from this particular tooling, and a release which charts the post war career of a true stalwart of the historic aviation scene here in the UK. Significantly, this kit release presents the same aircraft in three different scheme guises, spanning almost 70 years of flying.As many readers will no doubt have this stunning kit on their build schedule for the coming year, let’s see why our 1/48th scale Snooping Spitfire makes for an ideal way in which to start our modelling journey for 2026.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.It’s somehow fitting that whilst we still find ourselves just about in the 85th Anniversary year of the Battle of Britain, that our 1/48th scale model tribute to the RAF’s most unusual fighter type to take part in this aerial duel has just returned to the current Airfix range. An aircraft which remains relatively anonymous to the majority of the world’s population, and can be quite divisive amongst those who are aware of it, the Boulton Paul Defiant may well have been a fighting contemporary of the Supermarine Spitfire and Hawker Hurricane, but it has never been able to compete with either in the aviation popularity stakes, despite being far more interesting a design than both in the eyes of many.Unquestionably one of the more interesting British aircraft types of the Second World War, whilst we won’t be producing a Defiant charm offensive edition of Workbench this weekend, we will be welcoming the re-introduction of our beautiful 1/48th scale kit version of the aircraft to the current range by looking at why Britain’s turret fighter is definitely worthy of modelling subject consideration. We will also be challenging one or two popular misconceptions about the Defiant in operation, and how no modelling tribute to the ’Few’ can be considered complete without the inclusion of at least one Boulton Paul Defiant within that display.We prepare to sign off on this 85th Anniversary year of the Battle of Britain with the Defiant return of a classic 1/48th scale model kit in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.It’s been quite a year for Supermarine Spitfire related developments, anniversaries and associated media content. With this year marking the 85th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, which was arguably the Spitfire’s finest hour, and the end of the war in Europe, with the Spitfire still an important aircraft in Royal Air Force inventory at that time, 2025 also marked 90 years since construction work started on the Spitfire Type 300 prototype K5054.From an Airfix perspective, we have also seen the continuation of the incredible popularity of the aircraft in scale model form, with our modified ‘Flying Dray’ 1/24th scale Spitfire joining the recently released Mk.VIII export variant of the model in that same ‘Superkit’ scale, and two newly tooled models joining the range over the past twelve months. Our new 1/48th scale two seat Spitfire TR.9 was as unexpected as it has proved popular, but with so much going on over recent months, our new 1/48th scale Spitfire Mk.IXe kit appears to have slipped under the modelling radar somewhat, despite it actually being a really significant addition to the range. We intend to address this situation with this latest update.The focus of our attentions this Workbench weekend is to provide an appropriate introduction to this new kit, even though it’s actually been available for a couple of weeks now. We will be looking at the importance of this stop-gap, but crucial variant of the Spitfire, in addition to bringing you all the relevant details related to this latest new tooling addition to the Airfix range. With stunning box artwork, scheme details and more, this latest update is definitely one for the Spitfire aficionados amongst our number.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.Well, we’ve managed it – we’ve safely negotiated another hectic year! With this being the final edition of Workbench for 2025, we wanted to go out with a serious cracker of a BANG, so that being the case, what could be better than to feature our final secret model release for the year, one which just happens to be a silver winged beauty.Earlier this week, the various Airfix information channels carried the news that as part of the festivities here at modelling HQ, we’d held back our final secret model release of the year for this most festive of periods, the second release from our new 1/48th scale Bristol Bulldog tooling. A beautiful inter-war British fighter which not only found favour with the Royal Air Force, but also with several overseas air arms during the early 1930s, this second release includes additional parts to allow the much modified Bristol Bulldog Mk.IIA variant of the fighter to be modelled. This was an aircraft which was unquestionably one of the most important British fighter aircraft of the late 1920s and early 1930s, and was an aircraft which stimulated a significant period of upgrade and expansion for the Royal Air Force.In this final update of the year, we will be looking at why the Bulldog was such an important aircraft for the Royal Air Force, why this second release presents the fighter in arguably its most iconic form, and what made this such a highly regarded aircraft in RAF service. Of course, we will also have our usual selection of spectacular subject imagery, which will hopefully highlight why this makes for such an appealing modelling project.We’re dancing the skies on laughter-silvered wings in this final edition of Workbench for 2025.

As the Airfix team have been working hard on preparing the 2026 Airfix catalogue over the previous few weeks and the heady modelling nostalgia this always invokes, it could hardly be more appropriate that this week’s edition of Workbench see’s us returning to the world of Vintage Classics, and the latest addition to this popular range. Indeed, we don’t just have a single kit subject for your delectation this time around, we have two closely related models which many modellers regard as some of the most appealing to have ever graced the Airfix range, in a case of double Vintage Classics trouble.The one thing each Airfix kit range has always been able to boast is the sheer variety of subjects available in scale model form, everything from famous fighter aircraft of the Second World War to dinosaurs and historical figures, and all types of craft in-between. An incredibly popular sub-range of kits over the years have been scale ships, from historic galleons to lifeboats, but also including some of the most powerful warships to have ever sailed the world’s oceans. Making for incredibly impressive built model displays, it may have been a while since we’ve seen a new tooling addition to this line up of kits, but we do still have many classics to tempt us.This latest update features two fast attack craft from the Second World War, stunning model representations of impressive coastal attack craft which were intended to create havoc in coastal waters, one British and one German. With classic box artwork and a selection of built model images to share, we’re unquestionably in the realm of classic Airfix kits in this week’s edition of Workbench.You’re going to be needing your sea legs this weekend, as we’re on a mission with the sea dragons of the Second World War.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.Our subject for this latest edition of Workbench is the heavily requested re-introduction of an incredibly popular kit, one which has to be regarded as one of the most impressive to have ever graced the Airfix range. The futuristic looking Handley Page Victor was the final aircraft of Britain’s trilogy of nuclear capable V-Bombers of the Cold War era, and arguably the one which was both the most advanced and the most versatile of the three. The aircraft was designed to wield incredible destructive power, but to ensure peace by the threat of the devastation it could bring, something of a dichotomy in terms, but one which helped to preserve an uneasy peace at one of the most volatile periods in world/European history.A kit which was originally released to such widespread modeller acclaim back in 2016, and again in this particular release format two years later, it has become increasingly difficult to get your hands on one of these stunning kits over recent months, so we decided that we had to do something about that situation, hence this release return. In addition to looking at why the Victor makes for such an impressive modelling project, we will be looking at the details behind the three scheme/decal options included with this kit, will have a selection of images detailing how our latest exclusive collector coin release will delight those ordering via the Airfix website, and see why the aircraft linked to the lead scheme option has just benefited from a rather radical new application of paint.We’re very much in the presence of one of Britain’s Cold War jet powered peacekeepers in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.Well, what a spectacular weekend that turned out to be. With the latest instalment of the Scale ModelWorld phenomenon now done and dusted, we can confidently confirm that this modelling hobby we all enjoy so much, and the army of enthusiasts who consider themselves amongst its ranks, are both in a very good place right now, with the future of the hobby looking as bright as it’s ever been. As we reflect on a busy, but extremely enjoyable weekend, and allow our voices a little recovery time, we will be spending this latest edition of Workbench covering some of the activities team members were involved with over the weekend, in an attempt to share some of the atmosphere of what was a thoroughly enjoyable event once again.With a selection of exclusive images taken by members of the Airfix team over the weekend to illustrate the points under discussion, you can look forward to seeing the Airfix stand in all its glory, a quintuple of built Messerschmitt Bf 109 Gustav debutantes, competition winners entries and a fantastically imaginative Display of the Day/Show winner, along with the impressive people behind them all.As we try to keep the Scale ModelWorld ‘highs’ going for just a few days more, please join us as we review our show experiences at SMW 2025 in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.You will have noticed that we have a slightly later publication timing for this latest edition of our Workbench blog this week, but for very good reason. By now, the Airfix events team will be hard at work setting up our display stand at the latest Scale ModelWorld show, and amongst our layout of impressive modelling riches, we have exciting news to share. As of 10am this morning, we were proud to announce our latest new tooling addition to the Airfix range, and it’s BIG news!It what has now become something of an Airfix tradition at Telford, the SMW show has regularly seen the team announcing new tooling projects as part of our attendance, with visitors to the International Centre over the weekend being the first to view the new kit in the plastic, whilst also having the opportunity to discuss this and all matters Airfix with the team in attendance. This latest release is something very special indeed, and if some like to challenge us about our fascination for producing kit tributes to the incredible Supermarine Spitfire, we have something very different for you this time around, in the shape of the Spitfire’s aviation arch nemesis, the Messerschmitt Bf 109. A spectacular new design in 1/24th scale, our new kit is a stunning representation of the G-5/G-6 variant of the Bf 109, the most heavily produced of more than 34,000 aircraft manufactured, and one which struggled to stem the tide of Allied air forces until the end of the Second World War.By way of an introduction to the new kit, we will be bringing you the details behind why the Messerschmitt Bf 109 ‘Gustav’ makes for such an appealing modelling subject, and will have a selection of exclusive imagery to help us do that, from new box artwork and built model images, to details behind each of the FIVE scheme options included with the first release of this new kit.The exclusive reveal of our new large scale tribute to one of the most significant fighting aeroplanes in the history of warfare is our headline subject for this week’s edition of Workbench.

Our blog title for this week was intentionally selected to possess a little more intrigue than usual, as we want to do something a little different with this latest edition. As far as we know, there’s never actually been an ‘Avro Week’ commemoration event, and certainly never here on the Workbench blog, but as we find ourselves on the cusp of the scale modelling world’s annual ‘gathering’ at Telford’s International Centre, we wanted to take a little break from featuring new tooling projects and secret additions to the current Airfix range. Instead, we wanted to place the blog spotlight on a selection of (relatively) recent model kit releases, all of which are currently in stock and available for modelling project duty right now. Interestingly, the three kits we have selected chart 20 years of aircraft design development at one of the most famous company’s in British aviation history, a name which became synonymous with powerful bomber types, but can trace its origins back to the early years of the 20th century. We will be seeing how 20 years can seem like a lifetime in the world of aviation, and whilst all three aircraft were groundbreaking in their own right at the time of their maiden flights, how they could hardly be more different from each other, when it came to both their appearance, and their capabilities. You will probably be able to guess which aircraft types we’re going to be featuring, but you can be absolutely certain that the Airfix range has beautifully crafted scale kit representations of each one, albethey in different scales, to allow our model display cabinets to feature our own appealing tributes to each one of them. When it comes to Avro aircraft types, the current Airfix range certainly helps scale Avro aviators to gain their hobby wings. As we push the virtual hangar doors back on this latest edition of Workbench, which of this trio of Avro classics will be making its way to the blog taxiway first?

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix. The one thing you have always been able to rely on Airfix to provide the modelling world with is an impressive selection of classic scale aircraft model kits across several different scales, something which helped inspire a great many young people on their career journeys to become engineers, pilots, or to simply continue enjoying this great hobby of ours. In our previous edition, we unveiled our latest ‘secret’ scale tribute to a later variant incarnation of one of the finest aircraft of the Second World War, and we’re returning to similar subject matter for this latest update, albeit in a larger scale. Regarded as arguably the most famous aircraft in the history of flight, but unquestionably the highest profile design to come from the British aviation industry, the Supermarine Spitfire served throughout the Second World War and beyond, with ever more examples undergoing restoration to airworthy condition, such is the enduring fascination with this aircraft. Our new kit subject for this latest edition really is something special, only the second stand alone kit release from this particular tooling, and a release which charts the post war career of a true stalwart of the historic aviation scene here in the UK. This kit presents the same aircraft in three different scheme guises spanning almost 70 years of flying.

As we currently find ourselves on the cusp of actual modelling season, with the longer nights providing us with an excuse to spend much more time at our workstations, can you think of a better way of celebrating this than by announcing our latest 'secret' model release? On Wednesday this week, we announced details of just the third releases from our popular 1/72nd scale de Havilland Mosquito tooling, as the previously unannounced additions to the current range just keep on coming. This new release announcement includes an additional frame of parts which allow several new Mosquito variant/ordnance options to be considered by the modeller, and in this latest edition of Workbench, we will be bringing you all the details you might need from this latest addition to the range. In a robust review, we have insights and development imagery direct from the kit designer’s computer, an impressive selection of built model images, and details behind the THREE new scheme options included with what’s sure to be a welcome addition to the range. We’re spending time with the ‘Wooden Wonder’ in this latest edition of Workbench, or at least our scale plastic kit tribute to it.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.With almost 400 Workbench blogs now successfully under our belts, we’re never afraid to try something just that little bit different when putting one together, with this current edition being something of a point in case. When announcing the latest kit additions to the current Airfix range, we sometimes unearth something very special, be that new information revealed in support of an included scheme option, or new box artwork which triggers fond memories for a former British serviceman. That’s exactly what happened when former member of the Royal Artillery Alister Constantine first saw the new box artwork for the second release from our Ferret Scout Car tooling, because it was the exact same vehicle that he operated throughout his service during the Gulf War.Kindly, Alister dropped our marketing team a line to inform us of the close link he had with our artwork, which was the start of a fascinating period for members of the Airfix team, particularly our lead videographer Nathan. He was fortunate enough to meet Alister, where they discussed all things Ferret, and this Ferret in particular. Nathan was also given access to a fascinating collection of Gulf War imagery featuring Alister and Ferret 00 EC 15, details which really provide this latest Ferret kit release with irresistible provenance, and build project character which is second to none.In this latest Workbench update, we will be sharing details of Alister’s Gulf War time with Ferret 00 EC 15, including some of those fascinating pictures taken at the time, and including the two related Videos recently created by Nathan within this edition. We need little excuse to have one of our new Ferret kits on the workbench as a build project, but after this, we think we know the scheme many Airfix enthusiasts will be opting to go for.We’re on Gulf War deployment with a particularly interesting British Army Ferret Mk.1 Scout Car and its crew in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.As the world prepares to celebrate Space Week, there really could only be one subject for this latest edition of Workbench, an edition which really could be described as being out of this world. Unquestionably the most impressive machines ever conceived by man, space launch vehicles represent the very pinnacle of man’s technological prowess, not to mention how they utilise the most powerful engines ever created. With the launch sequence itself being a sight so spectacular that it captivates billions of people each and every time, is it any wonder that space travel and exploration remains as arguably man’s most impressive achievement to date.International Space Week sees the world celebrating the latest advancements in science and technology, not only in relation to space exploration, but also how this technology eventually finds its way into everyday life for much of the world’s population, stimulating ever more impressive advances in all manner of fields. Those fields include computer design and manufacturing processes which allow model companies to produce beautiful scale representations of the most impressive spacecraft to have ever left the surface of the earth, and on to new adventures amongst the stars.In celebration of this latest Space Week, our newly tooled SLS Artemis kit has now been released and has already been joined by our classic Saturn V kit, with the pair about to be welcome our Space Shuttle onto the modelling launchpad, each on presented in 1/144th scale and each one an iconic kit representation of man’s ultimate desire to explore beyond the stars.As countdown to Space Week enters its final stages, we’re heading for the stars in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix. Over the course of the next few weeks, we’re expecting several new Vintage Classics kit releases to arrive in our warehouse, as we move towards welcoming the final kits from the current range as we head towards the back end of the year. This seemed like the ideal opportunity of us to offer a little Workbench update support in this latest edition. Announced as a heritage addition to the Airfix range back in 2018, the enthusiast support for the Vintage Classics range has been nothing short of incredible, and whilst these kits may not always share the tooling finesse of a modern design project, they do possess modelling heritage and hobby nostalgia by the absolute bucket-load. The kit we’ve selected for review this time around is a classic release which first appeared in an Airfix range back in 1970, an impressive new kit to match the exciting new international jet collaboration which was in its trials stage at that time, the Anglo-French SEPECAT Jaguar. Back then, the kit was marketed as the BAC Jaguar, but represented the pinnacle of model kit design and manufacture at that time, as we’re sure many a Workbench reader will attest to. We will be featuring the Jaguar in this latest nostalgia fuelled update, but have already scheduled the Puma HC.1, British Army 4 ton truck and Lockheed Hudson for future inclusion, by which time, we hope to have a full suite of built model images available for our blog update use. So, it’s one of the best loved Airfix kits of one of the best loved RAF aircraft of the Cold War era for your delectation in this latest edition of Workbench and a case of collaboration áeronautique avec nos amis d’outre-Manche.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix. After last weekend’s bumper Battle of Britain 85th Anniversary edition and Hawker Hurricane linked feature in Airfix Aerodrome, we’re taking things just a little bit easier this week for a number of reasons, mainly scheduling and holiday related. That being said, there is no let-up with regard to Workbench exclusives, as we have an appealing new selection of built model images to bring you this time around. As we continue to retain a subject link with the Battle of Britain, or at least with one of the aircraft types which contested this aerial dual, we will be revisiting a subject covered just a few weeks ago, not just because we now have built model images which weren’t available at the time of previously posting, but because the kit is now in stock and available, and is in our opinion, unquestionably one of the most appealing kit releases of the year. Our latest Heinkel He-III kit release presents this famous bomber in H-6 torpedo carrying variant configuration, however, modellers looking to produce a scale tribute to the Luftwaffe’s most famous bomber currently have TWO individual kit options available on the Airfix website. We will be including details of both kits and their featured scheme detail options in this latest update. We have double Heinkel He III kit release updates for you in this latest aviation ‘Wolf in sheep’s clothing’ edition of Workbench.

In a year which has already seen the world commemorating and celebrating several significant WWII anniversaries, this year’s Battle of Britain Day commemorations will be marking 85 years since the pilots of Fighter Command repelled the incessant Luftwaffe attacks against British targets, including day and night attacks against London.With Britain standing alone, and Europe firmly under the heel of the Wehrmacht, the summer of 1940 would see a nation preparing to face an onslaught the like of which had never been seen, a fight for its very survival, along with that of the free world at that time. With the English Channel acting as a natural barrier to invasion, German military planners knew they would have to rule the skies over Britain, if a risky amphibious assault against the country had any hope of success, but with the Luftwaffe sweeping all before it during the early months of the war, and with overwhelming odds in their favour, surely such a victory was only a matter of time.On this side of the Channel, Britain prepared to defend everything they held dear, and whilst the Battle of Britain is often championed as the ‘Few’ facing the many, what the Luftwaffe and German forces were up against was an entire nation, a Britain steadfast in its resolve, and ready for the challenge ahead.In this latest edition of Workbench, through the medium of scale modelling, we will be attempting to highlight how the Battle of Britain was much more than just Spitfires against Messerschmitts, and how this aerial struggle proved to be pivotal in the wider context of the Second World War, with many different facets making significant contributions.It's Battle of Britain anniversary weekend in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix. We have something very different to the norm in this latest edition of Workbench, as we will be featuring no fewer than THREE impending model kit release additions to the current range this time around, with this trio of models all linked by both scale and subject matter. In fact, each of the models featured will be of great interest to those readers with a passion for creating engaging diorama scenes, particularly those with a leaning towards British Army operations during the post war/Cold War era. With their rugged, go-anywhere, no-nonsense reputation, several variant incarnations of the classic Land Rover design have seen extensive British Military service over the years, with many thousands of these fantastic vehicles going on to wear the military colours of Britain’s armed forces. In addition to featuring our scale tributes to this magnificent series of support vehicles, our third subject is a lightweight, modern field gun system which was designed to provide British forces with a highly mobile field artillery piece, one which was effective enough to bring down meaningful suppressing fire against enemy positions quickly, but also to be light enough to be transported either by helicopter, or towed by 1 tonne Land Rover vehicles. We’re all on rapid deployment duties with the scale modelling version of the British Army, in this latest edition of your weekly Workbench blog.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix.We’re excited to be back in the fascinating territory of new kit additions to the current Airfix range in this latest edition of Workbench, or to be precise, the actual design of them, as we bring you details of a project which is literally ‘Out of this World!’ In this latest designer interview edition, we will be featuring the new SLS Artemis kit in 1/144th scale, our latest space exploration related kit addition to the range, and our scale tribute to NASA’s current high-tech Space Launch System.When you need a designer of some industry standing to cope with demanding situations such as these, we’re lucky to have just the man for the job, and you’ll be pleased to hear that Workbench regular Paramjit Sembhi will be in our hotseat again this time around, as we review what must have been quite the significant design challenge for him. Just as was the case with Ethan Barker over the previous two weeks and the Westland Wessex being his first helicopter design project, so SLS Artemis was Paramjit’s first foray into the world of spacecraft kit design, and that being the case, we had plenty of poignant questions lined up to ask him. As you would expect, we also requested a selection of supporting imagery to illustrate some of the points covered, and Paramjit didn’t let us down – we’re all in for a real design treat.We continue exploring the latest kit additions to the current Airfix range, as we go interstellar in this latest edition of Workbench.

Welcome to this latest edition of our Workbench blog and all the news, updates, and modelling exclusives from the fascinating world of Airfix. Following on from our Designer Interview edition, which was posted last weekend, we once again return to the subject of new 2025 tooling additions to the Airfix range in this latest edition of Workbench, and the hugely impressive Westland Wessex in 1/72nd scale. Having been allowed a fascinating insight into the design world of talented Product Designer Ethan Barker in our previous edition, we return to the subject of his latest impending new project addition to the Airfix kit range in this follow on feature, as we move from his computer screen to the wider modelling world and modeller workstations everywhere. This latest update will see us taking a more detailed look at the work done in support of his design efforts, as we feature box artwork, scheme details and include images of built models finished using the final test frames from this impressive new tooling.
