Description
The Early Days of Model Tanks: A Look Back at Airfix and Beyond. In 1961, the first Armoured Fighting Vehicles appeared in Airfix kits, marking the beginning of a golden age for kit building. This hobby, known as the Airfix Generation, brought together schoolboys and young men who shared a passion for creating models. As the years passed, the hobby experienced a decline with the rise of video games, but it has recently seen a revival among its original enthusiasts. Tom Cole explores the early days of model tank building, focusing on kits from Britain's Airfix and Matchbox, as well as imports from Japan, including Fujimi and Nitto, and European Esci. This book offers a unique perspective on the hobby's history, making it an attractive choice for those looking to understand its origins. With 96 pages of detailed information, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in model tanks and their place in the history of the Airfix Generation.
