The Airfix Collectors’ Club has produced their Airfix Vintage Calendar for 2020 featuring 13 Airfix box top paintings by Eagle and Swift artist Roy Cross.
Produced for Club members and for Airfix to use as a publicity item, the Club have limited extra stock which is available to non-members for £5 + £2 UK postage, and they take Paypal.
The Airfix Collectors’ Club was originally formed in 1994 by a small group of like-minded enthusiasts to document the history of and encourage the collecting of the models and toys made by Airfix Products Ltd.
It was re-formed in late 1999, and is a non-profit making organisation, dedicated to linking fellow collectors and enthusiasts world-wide for the exchange of information, advice and archive material about Airfix since its formation in 1939. It is officially supported by Hornby Hobbies Ltd, the current owners of Airfix.
Constant Scale, the Club journal, is published four times a year and includes articles about the history of Airfix, its products and information supplied by former Airfix employees who are members of the Club.
