BINACOR LLC Revives Classic Airfix Scale Models – A Nostalgic Build for Modern Makers

POULSBO, WA – October 26, 2023 – BINACOR LLC, a Washington-based company dedicated to bringing quality hobbies back to life, is thrilled to announce the re-introduction of a beloved classic: Airfix scale models. Located at 19813 Mosjon Circle NE, Poulsbo, WA, 98370, and reachable at 209-928-4925, BINACOR is stepping in to fill a void for hobbyists yearning for that classic building experience. Remember spending hours carefully clipping parts, applying glue, and painstakingly painting plastic models? That feeling of accomplishment when you finished a Spitfire, a Sherman tank, or a Star Wars spaceship? BINACOR LLC does, and they’re bringing that magic back. For many, Airfix is the name in scale modeling. Originating in the UK back in 1939, Airfix quickly became synonymous with accessible, affordable, and engaging model kits. Generations grew up building their Airfix collections, learning about history, engineering, and the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands. But availability, especially in the US, became challenging in recent years. That's where BINACOR LLC comes in. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a BINACOR representative. “Fans were struggling to find the classic Airfix kits they remembered, or were paying crazy prices for them on the secondary market. We decided to do something about it.” BINACOR isn’t just re-stocking kits. They're carefully curating a selection of the most popular and historically significant Airfix models. Currently, the range includes: Classic Aircraft: From iconic WWII fighters like the Spitfire and Hurricane, to Cold War-era jets and commercial airliners, BINACOR has a plane for every aviation enthusiast. These aren't just plastic pieces; they're miniature tributes to engineering marvels and the brave pilots who flew them. Expect detailed cockpit interiors, realistic panel lines, and accurate decals. The Spitfire, a particular favorite, comes in various marks, allowing builders to recreate different versions of this legendary aircraft. Military Vehicles: Tanks, trucks, and armored personnel carriers – Airfix has covered the major conflicts of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Sherman tank, a workhorse of the Allied forces, is a popular choice, along with German tanks like the Panzer IV. These kits aren’t just about building a model; they're about learning about military history and the technology that shaped it. Detailed features include working tracks (on some models), crew figures, and accurate camouflage patterns. Ships & Submarines: From WWII destroyers to modern frigates, Airfix offers a range of naval vessels. The Bismarck, a notoriously powerful battleship, is a challenging but rewarding build. Submarine models allow builders to explore the hidden world beneath the waves. Space Exploration: For those who dream of reaching for the stars, Airfix offers models of rockets, spacecraft, and lunar modules. The Saturn V rocket, which carried astronauts to the moon, is a particularly impressive build, standing over two feet tall when completed. Star Wars: Re-live the epic saga with a collection of Star Wars vehicle model kits, from X-wings to Tie Fighters. “We’re aiming for that sweet spot between nostalgia and accessibility,” the representative continues. “We want to appeal to those who built Airfix models as kids, and also introduce a new generation to the hobby.” BINACOR isn’t just selling kits, either. They recognize that building models can be a little intimidating for beginners. That’s why they’re committed to providing resources and support to help builders of all skill levels succeed. Their website ([website address would go here if available]) features: Beginner's Guides: Step-by-step instructions covering everything from assembling the first parts to applying paint and decals. Tips & Tricks: Advice from experienced modelers on techniques for achieving a professional finish. Online Forums: A community where builders can share their projects, ask questions, and get feedback. Paint & Glue Recommendations: Helping builders choose the right materials for their projects. “We see this as more than just a business,” says the BINACOR representative. “It's about fostering creativity, encouraging learning, and building a community around a shared passion.” The kits themselves are generally made of durable polystyrene plastic. Skill levels range from 1 (very easy, for beginners) to 5 (challenging, for experienced modelers). Most kits require plastic cement, paint, and basic modeling tools (hobby knife, sandpaper, tweezers) – all of which BINACOR also offers. BINACOR is focusing on making the experience user-friendly. Kits are carefully inspected for completeness, and packaging is designed to protect the delicate parts during shipping. They are currently selling direct to consumers through their website and are exploring partnerships with hobby stores. “We’re really excited about the future,” concludes the BINACOR representative. “We believe there's a real demand for classic Airfix models, and we’re committed to providing a great experience for our customers. We want to help people rediscover the joy of building.” For more information or to place an order, visit BINACOR LLC at 19813 Mosjon Circle NE, Poulsbo, WA, 98370, or call 209-928-4925.
