What series are the 1/35 tanks?

So flying hours in my hand, what series are the 1/35 tanks meant to be?

Normally, the series is denoted by the two numbers following the A of the product code. Therefore, A01005 is a series one kit and A09001 is series 9. However, these kits only have a four digit code and not the standard five digits. I suspect that they will be outside the Flying Hours scheme, but you should contact Airfix for clarification.

All the 1/35 armour kits in the catalogue have a five digit code that looks like A13**. On the basis of price, they are in the same range as Series 6 to Series 9 aircraft. Is there guidance on how many flying hours are needed to get one of these A13** kits, or are they just unavailable under the flying hours program, which seems a bit unfair to people who primarily build armour. Come on Airfix! If you want to get the interest of people who build vehicles then having a club that only caters to aircraft modelers seems like a bad way to go about it.

I simply wrote a polite note when I came to cash in my FH tokens recently and the lovely lady at Airfix agreed that a 1/35 T-34 was indeed the equivalent price of a series 6 aircraft at £29.99. It pays to ask and be nice about it. T

Good advice David.
