All Airfix cars come with a different number of plastic pieces, and the amount can vary from 100 to 300. Paint and tools are supplied and once the model has been built, the painting can begin! Involving skill and concentration, this rainy day activity will stimulate their minds and aid cognitive as well as creative development.

Airfix planes are also very popular and have been since the very beginning, when the model kit brand first launched in the early 1950s. The collection includes classic pieces such as the Submarine Spitfire MKLA and the Fairey Swordfish MK1. Immortal in British history, these military masterpieces will give children a sense of patriotism and give them a chance to learn about history at home.

Airfix soldiers are also a marvellous buy and would make a wonderful gift. The London icons celebrate the spirit of the city, just in time for the Olympics.
