If you ask anyone the question of who makes model planes, most answers will be Airfix. The first Airfix plane kit of the Spitfire was made in 1955 in the standard 1/72 scale. These original models were very simple by today’s standards, and the quality of detail and fit, left a lot to be desired! Now however, the modern model plane kits have a huge amount of moulding detail, with very accurate and precise decals. The kits also require painting to achieve a high standard of finish, and a keen model maker will take great care and attention to achieve this finish on his model plane.
In recent years, flying model planes has become a popular hobby. They are powered by small liquid fuel engines or by re-chargeable batteries. They are generally made of very lightweight materials like expanded polystyrene, and are controlled from the ground by means of sophisticated radio units.
The latest craze in flying model planes is for helicopters, which are almost as difficult to fly as the real thing! Some miniature versions can be used indoors, as long as all valuables are out of sight!
