BIG SKY GLOBAL Brings Classic Airfix Model Airplanes Back to US Hobbyists

Manchester, NH – November 8, 2023 – Remember spending hours carefully gluing tiny pieces together, painstakingly painting wings, and then finally launching your newly built airplane into the sky (or, let’s be real, around the living room)? BIG SKY GLOBAL LLC is bringing that nostalgic joy back to a new generation – and satisfying seasoned hobbyists – with a renewed focus on classic Airfix model airplanes. Based right here in Manchester, New Hampshire, BIG SKY GLOBAL (located at 20 Country Club Dr, Apt 32, 03102-8761, and reachable at 601-251-1999) has stepped in to address a growing demand from US-based model enthusiasts. For years, accessing the full range of iconic Airfix kits proved difficult, often requiring expensive imports or scouring online marketplaces. BIG SKY GLOBAL is changing that, making these beloved models readily available to American builders. “We noticed a real gap in the US market,” explains a representative from BIG SKY GLOBAL. “Airfix has a long and proud history – generations grew up building these kits. But getting your hands on the specific plane you wanted, or a new release, often meant a headache. We wanted to simplify that and reignite that passion for model building here in the States.” What is Airfix, Anyway? A Bit of History For those unfamiliar, Airfix is a British manufacturer that's been creating plastic model kits since 1939. They started with a simple, affordable airplane model – a remarkably detailed for its time. This quickly blossomed into a full range, encompassing everything from historic WWII fighters and bombers to modern jets, civilian aircraft, ships, cars, and even figures. Airfix models aren’t just toys; they’re a surprisingly engaging hobby. Building a model requires patience, fine motor skills, and a bit of artistic flair. You're not just assembling something, you're recreating a piece of history, a marvel of engineering, or a personal favorite aircraft. BIG SKY GLOBAL: Bringing the Range to the US BIG SKY GLOBAL isn’t just importing a few popular kits. They’re committed to offering a wide selection of Airfix model airplanes, catering to builders of all skill levels. “We're talking about everything from beginner-friendly ‘Starter Sets’ with pre-colored plastic and simplified instructions to highly detailed, complex kits for experienced modelers,” explains the company representative. “We want to make sure everyone can find something to enjoy, whether it’s their first airplane or their fiftieth.” Here's a taste of what you can expect from BIG SKY GLOBAL's Airfix lineup: Classic WWII Fighters: Spitfires, Hurricanes, Messerschmitts, P-51 Mustangs – all the iconic planes that defined an era.

They’re actively working to connect with model building groups and enthusiasts across the US. “We’re planning online forums, social media groups, and potentially even local events to bring people together and share their creations,” says the representative. “We want to foster a sense of community and encourage people to share their passion for model building.” Why Airfix?
