The Airfix Club

• Is the Airfix Club still running?

  Under Hornby, Airfix now has a new club. The Club package has slightly changed, to find out more please view our Official Airfix Club section.

• What is the Downloadable version of the Airfix Club?

  The download version is simply the full club package but your copy of the Airfix catalogue and quarterly magazine is downloadable. This package enables the club member to get all the benefits of the club package at a cheaper price. It also means that whenever you join the club you will get a copy of the new catalogue in January.

• I use to be a member of the Classic Modellers Club or Team Airfix Modellers Club

  Sadly due to the collapse of Humbrol LTD in 2006 both Airfix Clubs; The Classic Modellers Club and Airfix Team Modellers Club were terminated. Under the new ownership of Hornby, Airfix have setup a new club for modelling enthusiasts. Although Hornby have no responsibility of clubs previously operated by Humbrol we have generously decided to offer a 25% discount off the new club package. This offer is to all who had valid membership when Hornby acquired Airfix in November 2006. If you qualify for this offer you will be contacted in September 2007 with more information on how to claim your discount.
