Thanks all. Think i'll initially try a direct email in September and ask if they'll do a pack of spits or similar at wholesale for a project. If not I'll probably go for the fokker, it looks simpler fit despite having three wings and has some better words written about it. Nice easy paint scheme too. Does seem a shame they're offloading positively outdated kits on these project kits.

I'll give that a try, can't hurt to ask.

Thanks guys. I had missed the challenge sets. Perhaps the Sopwith would be the most achievable. The older ones could even use my rigging line if they felt up to it. I'll try to find some build videos. Good to see they're still making something of the type (even if I was hoping for a good old spit or 109 kit). I did a survey of the school on all the different clubs that could be run next year from sports to sewing. After a football club run by our local team, sewing and airfix came out top, beating a video game club, programming and a whole load of sports and others. They clearly want to have opportunities for some patient creative skill based work, which I'm pleased to see. I guess I've got to run one now. Only a little concerned, are these the original tools? From... the late 50's/early 60's? How buildable is this set? Is that the meaning of 'challenge'? Perhaps the Fokker is actually the most simple and easily buildable looking at the builds.

Hello, As a primary school teacher, am looking to do an 'airfix' club or 'model' club with children at the school next year. There are a few kids I know of already building at home and I can imagine a club like this would go down a storm and maybe inspire some of the next generation. There used to be a big set of 15 models, paints, brushes and glues that you could buy called "project airfix" exactly for these types of projects. These don't seem to be available anymore. Does anyone know if they are, just on direct contact? If not, where might one find them or find something similar with which one could do a school club build, or is it now just a case of raiding Aldi at dawn when it's Airfix time?
