For generations, they’ve been known for their accurate detailing, historical significance, and affordable price point.

BLT ACP Madison LLC is bringing in a curated selection of these classics, catering to both seasoned model builders and newcomers. “We're not just dumping a bunch of kits on the market,” the spokesperson clarifies. “We've selected a range of models that represent the best of Airfix, with different skill levels so everyone can jump in and enjoy the hobby.” More Than Just a Model: A Skill-Building Hobby Forget staring at screens for a while. Building an Airfix model airplane is a genuinely rewarding experience. It’s not just about the finished product; it's about the process. Here’s what building an Airfix model can do for you (or your kids): Develop Fine Motor Skills: Working with small parts requires precision and dexterity, helping to improve hand-eye coordination. Boost Problem-Solving Abilities: The instructions aren't always crystal clear (part of the fun!), so builders need to think critically and figure things out. Learn About History: Each model comes with detailed information about the aircraft it represents, making it a fun way to learn about aviation and historical events. Encourage Patience and Focus: Building a model takes time and concentration – valuable skills in today’s fast-paced world. A Tangible Sense of Accomplishment: There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of completing a model and displaying it proudly. What’s Available? A Look at the Range BLT ACP Madison LLC is initially focusing on a selection of popular and historically significant aircraft. Expect to find: The Supermarine Spitfire: Arguably the most iconic British fighter plane of World War II. Available in several different marks, representing variations used throughout the war. A great starting point for beginners. The Hawker Hurricane: Often overshadowed by the Spitfire, but equally vital to the Battle of Britain. A robust and reliable aircraft, perfect for building a solid foundation in modeling techniques. The Messerschmitt Bf 109: The Luftwaffe’s primary fighter during World War II. A sleek and powerful aircraft, offering a slightly more challenging build for intermediate modelers. The P-51 Mustang: A legendary American fighter, renowned for its speed and maneuverability. Available in various configurations, including the iconic “Red Nose” version. The Avro Lancaster: A formidable heavy bomber used extensively during World War II. A larger and more complex model, suitable for experienced builders. Various WWII and Cold War Era Jets: BLT ACP Madison LLC is also bringing in a selection of jet aircraft, offering a glimpse into the evolution of aviation technology.
