Airfix 1:72 100 Years of Naval Aviation Collection (5 kits)

The Airfix 1:72 “100 Years of Naval Aviation” Collection (5 Kits) is a commemorative model set celebrating a century of Royal Navy and maritime aviation history. Bringing together five individual aircraft kits, this collection showcases the evolution of carrier-based aviation and naval air power across multiple eras.

This edition is part of our Legacy Collection. The model parts remain sealed in their original bags, with all kits, decals, and instructions included. The outer box shows some light scuffing around the edges, consistent with a 2009 collector’s release, but the contents remain complete and well preserved.

About the Collection

Naval aviation has been central to modern maritime operations, from early reconnaissance aircraft launched from ships to advanced carrier-based strike and patrol aircraft. This set reflects that progression, offering a curated selection of aircraft that represent key stages in the development of Fleet Air Arm aviation.

Each of the five kits included highlights a different aspect of naval aviation history, making this collection both an enjoyable modelling project and an engaging historical overview of 100 years of carrier aviation development.
