Unboxing Airfix's Mystery Box - Is it Worth it? 

i usually pick up the kits from aldi and lidl as they do them as well but its only at xmas you can get them which is a shame not the greatest value mystery box from airfix and maybe its time someone from hornby/airfix needs to look into making them a bit more of a value

your right it dosent and i have just had a look at it and the box seems fine says to me that they have been done before boxing thanks for spotting that

i was and i have built a couple of the kits and they where fine

I do enjoy tamiya kits but the 1/72 range from airfix is better in my opinion Tamiya 1/48 aircraft are fantastic especially the newer modern jet kits

i agree they could only have been crushed before packing very poor from airfix but i am lucky they are still ok

yea not so "mystery" really

@@yorkshiremanmodels exactly...now dont get me wrong as they are great kits..i have built all 3 (the P-51 twice,this boxing and the starter set with the grey and green R.A.F. camo with the sharks mouth) but it would be nice to see a bit of variety.

Hehe, yeah I suspected the same. Not such a mystery when everyone seems to be getting the same thing in the aircraft box. Anyway enjoyed your unboxing buddy.

@@johnalecsscalemodeling shame they cant mix them up a bit thanks for commenting pal

thought about complaining but seen as the plastic appears undamaged i decided not to honestly wouldnt suprise me if someone working for airfix didnt do it on purpose

think i was lucky as well with the crushed boxes

@@yorkshiremanmodels you and me both,my friend.

@@yorkshiremanmodels turns out the kit isnt fine...several cracks in both fuselage halves😢

@@jaws666 that's a shame Can it be repaired or is it beyond use?

@@yorkshiremanmodels i have a very gpod use for it as it is....

sorry for late reply no the outside was fine can only think it happend to them before the packaging was done

@@yorkshiremanmodels ok, no apology necessary. Thanks for info update.

I agree and have looked again at the box and it seems fine I cannot see how the airfix boxes could have been damaged unless they was damaged before packing and if that's the case I am shocked someone packed them like that

It's a saving if you need all the kits Not really though if you already have 1 of them or don't want all of them

honestly the airfix kits that have been tooled in the last 10 years are fantastic kits that are as good if not better than a lot of other manufacturers the decals if cartograph are excellent i will admit though anything over 20 years old is usually awful but there is a few good ones still zvezda kits are i have found very similar as the old zvezda can be very poor kits but most of the new stuff is very good only manufacturer i have found that is consistantly bad is revell and most of the community feel the same but you can get some great subjects from revell that are not available from any where else
