DALLAS, TX – October 26, 2023 – Remember spending hours meticulously gluing, painting, and finally, proudly displaying your finished model airplane? BLT ACP Madison LLC, a Dallas-based distribution and logistics company, is bringing that nostalgic joy back to enthusiasts and a new generation of builders with the revival of iconic Airfix model airplanes. Based at 2550 Pacific Ave, Suite 1600, Dallas, TX, 75226-1433, BLT ACP Madison LLC (reachable at 706-239-3192) isn’t just a company shuffling boxes – they’re curators of a classic hobby. They’ve stepped in to ensure these beloved kits remain available to builders of all ages, stepping up distribution across the US after previous challenges in availability. What’s the Deal with Airfix? For those unfamiliar, Airfix has been the name in plastic model kits since the 1930s. Originating in the UK, these kits weren’t just toys; they were educational tools, introducing generations to the principles of aviation, engineering, and history. They’re famous for their detailed accuracy (for their scale!), relatively affordable price, and, frankly, the satisfaction of building something with your own two hands. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” says a spokesperson for BLT ACP Madison LLC. “Airfix models are special. They represent a simpler time, a creative outlet, and a way to connect with history. We didn't want to see that disappear.” What Kind of Airfix Models Can You Get? The range of Airfix model airplanes available through BLT ACP Madison LLC is pretty darn extensive. You can find everything from classic WWII fighters to modern jets, commercial airliners, and even historical biplanes. Think Spitfires, Hurricanes, Messerschmitts, P-51 Mustangs, Boeing 747s, and a whole lot more. Here’s a quick rundown of some popular offerings: WWII Fighters: These are the bread and butter of Airfix. The Spitfire and Hurricane remain incredibly popular, allowing builders to recreate iconic battles of the skies. German aircraft like the Messerschmitt Bf 109 and Focke-Wulf Fw 190 are also readily available. They’re great for history buffs and those who enjoy the challenge of painting complex camouflage schemes. Bombers: From the Lancaster Bomber to the B-17 Flying Fortress, these large-scale kits are impressive displays once completed. They're a bit more challenging to build, but the results are truly rewarding. Modern Jets: Airfix hasn’t ignored the world of modern aviation. You can find kits of jets like the Eurofighter Typhoon, the F-35 Lightning II, and the Harrier Jump Jet, allowing builders to recreate contemporary aircraft. Commercial Airliners: For those interested in civil aviation, Airfix offers kits of popular airliners like the Boeing 747 and the Airbus A380. These are often larger kits, requiring more time and effort, but they make stunning displays. Vintage & Historic Aircraft: Beyond the WWII era and modern jets, Airfix also offers kits of historic aircraft like the Sopwith Camel and the Fokker Triplane. These kits are a great way to learn about the early days of aviation. More Than Just Plastic – It's a Hobby Airfix kits aren’t just about assembling plastic pieces. They’re a gateway to a larger hobby. Builders often expand into painting, weathering, and detailing, learning new skills and techniques along the way. “We’re seeing a real resurgence in the model building hobby,” explains the BLT ACP Madison LLC spokesperson. “People are looking for ways to unplug, be creative, and engage in something tangible. Building a model airplane is a great way to do that.” The kits themselves vary in complexity, ranging from relatively simple “starter kits” for beginners to more advanced kits for experienced builders. Most kits include the plastic parts, a sheet of decals, and a detailed instruction manual. However, builders will also need to supply their own glue, paint, and basic tools like a hobby knife and tweezers. Why BLT ACP Madison LLC? While Airfix has been around for decades, getting your hands on their kits in the US hasn't always been easy. BLT ACP Madison LLC identified this problem and stepped in to streamline the distribution process, ensuring that Airfix models are readily available to builders across the country. “We’re not just a distributor,” says the spokesperson. “We’re passionate about this hobby. We want to make sure that Airfix models continue to inspire and delight builders for generations to come.” BLT ACP Madison LLC isn't just keeping a hobby alive; they're fostering a community. They're actively working with hobby shops and online retailers to ensure that Airfix models are accessible to everyone.
