Brand New Tool Kits — 2026
These are completely new moulds — not re-issues, not re-boxes. Brand new tooling from Airfix for 2026. If you only buy a few kits this year, these are the ones.
English Electric Canberra B.2 — 1/72 Scale (A05065)
The first accurate 1/72 scale Canberra kit ever produced. Modellers have waited decades for this. The Canberra served with the RAAF from 1953 to 1982, making this kit particularly significant for Australian builders. The kit features a detailed cockpit and bomb bay with optional ordnance, and comes with three RAF scheme options tracking a single airframe (WJ640) through its operational life from 1968 to 1981. This is our top pick from the 2026 range.
RRP: $54.75 | Release: AU Winter 2026

A completely new mould of the Luftwaffe's iconic wartime transport. The corrugated skin texture is faithfully replicated across all external surfaces, with multiple doors and hatches that can be posed open or closed. Three scheme options are included. One of the most ambitious 1/72 transport aircraft kits Airfix has ever produced.

McDonnell Douglas Phantom FG.1 — 1/48 Scale (A12015)
The British Royal Navy variant of the legendary Phantom, built as a brand new 1/48 mould. Three schemes are included, all in the distinctive dark blue Fleet Air Arm livery from HMS Ark Royal and shore-based units. Build options include in-flight, catapult launch, or deck stowage with folded wings. A comprehensive weapons fit includes Skyflash, Sidewinder, SNEB launchers and 1000lb bombs.
RRP: $136.50 | Release: AU Winter 2026
Browse Airfix AircraftAlvis FV603 Saracen Mk.5 — 1/35 Scale (A1385)
A new-tool 1/35 armoured personnel carrier, following on from the popular 2025 Alvis Stalwart release. The Saracen shares a common chassis with the Stalwart, making them natural companions on the shelf or in a diorama. A solid addition for Cold War military vehicle modellers.
