1/35, Hetzer, 1/35 Tiger 1, 1/35 M10, 1/35 Panther G, 1/35 M36 for 20 pounds each. Wish I lived in the UK! Even with 30 pound shipping to US that would be a deal
yeah i wish they did them thru their US company
Super selection for a mystery box. Bogey wheel nut house though. Nice savings for the thrill you got. I have a stash of kits tipping the tally to about 300 kits of all subjects of interest. WW2 is one of them. Vehicles are so easy to shelf when built.

I bought the Panther G on e-bay for £30, shortly after I bought the King Tiger for the same price. After I bought them Airfix were selling them for about £36. Price has now gone back to original level. I bought the bundle for £75 (18 months ago), which contained four kits. So similar kits, but still worth the buy if you do not have these kits.
they are worth a punt.. Thank you @paulcarpenter8056 for leaving a comment. Please subscribe if you haven't as yet.. It really helps the channel grow.
Saw this video and thought it’d be a good way to get past “buyers indecision”, and found out that they tell you what you’re getting in the confirmation message. It’s a nice way to start getting a leg up on any research you want to do. (They say that I’m getting the ones you’ve shown, so they haven’t changed in the past week.)

I bought the M10 when it came out AND the Tamiya M10 in order to see how Airfix compared to the Tamiya which was being called the kit of the year by modelers at the time. By examining the sprues I could not see any thing that was wrong at all with the Airfix except some parts like the turret ring on the hull would not interchange, but it was so good that I recommended the Airfix to a friend who made the incredible interior hull kit for TMD models! Ive since bought a number of the Airfix 1/35 armor kits plus their British ambulance, Im thinking but I think it was the early Morris. So I definitely recommend Airfix! And you convinced me to buy a mystery box!
I'm glad your friend enjoyed them too..Airfix has moved on from the old days and are producing exceptional models again.. Thank you @AsSeenOnTeeVee for leaving a comment. Please subscribe if you haven't as yet.. It really helps the channel grow.
I got a tank bundle from Russia last week and there were loads of pieces broken or missing.
Brilliant models mos i loved the tiger and panther tank might have to buy them all someday
You should!
I never noticed this before but those boxarts are wierd, most of them either shows the vehicle from extreme, uninteresting angle or obscure the vehicle with smoke or foliage. Seems like bad choice of beauty shots :)
i got the impression of an action shot.. some look fab.. some not so much
Maybe Airfix needs to look at the old Roy Cross box art for inspiration.
all 5 of those kits are listed under the clearance tab on the us website.
interesting
I've just bought a 10 tank 1/35th scale bundle box for £150.00. I can't wait to open it!
let me know which ones you build :)
Stonking savings there Mos! Very tempted now 😃😅
Link in description lol
I think taht's amazing and 10 out of 10 to Airfix Thanks for sharing Moss
Looking forward to the stream tonight and will be joining you at 8pm mate
See you there
Very cool mystery box Mos!
Brought this last week with club discount and my airfix points it cost me £77.50 ,and same kits as you keep the good work up
Enjoy it
All the boxarts are very nice.with sticky greetings. Christian

That is a really good price for 5 kits mate ,worth the money for the mystery box ,cheers Laz
Yep plenty of bang for your buck there
I got the tank bundle last year that had 3 in it, that was a bit of a rip off, you actually saved around £10 on Web prices, but its a risk if you already have them,this actually seems a better deal
link to the bundle in description if you are still tempted lol
The Hetzer is the old Academy kit, still made, and sold typically £26. As is the M36 at £36. Tiger 1 also £33.00, M10 £30.00. Panther £35.00. Still overall, considering the P&P, it’s still cheaper to buy the Airfix bundle. Quite a bargain!

Remember buying tamiya kits from small fry in wakefield. Tiger. King tiger. Just to mention a few. £3.99 each. Bearing in mind. this was 1984 .used to swap the price tags for something like an armoured car or half track and get the tanks for £1.99.✊

the box art is not as good as the 'old school' box art from my youth but it does seem a good way to increase your stash
roy cross were amazing
I got this bundle last week. Same kits still.
Thats cool.. i think they have a few more bundles to go before they change them up :)

Are these reboxes of another manufacturer's kits?
I believe that the hetzer is a Academy tool.
There all Academy reboxes,‐ tue Hetzer is probably the only decent one of them all!. Also maybe worth checking out what academys prices there normally cheaper buying the academy one!
But academy havent released them in a while..
Im amazed the chicken survived the post, great work Airfix

Good value if you’re in the UK
yeah sadly true
You get what you pay for. Airfix aircraft (at least the newer ones) are fine kits. Airfix armor, not so much.

Aha a chicken next to the box... what else would we expect? Yes, it's a bit of a gamble when the website says at least four kits so let's hope that they keep it at five! NB - the Tiger has decals for Tiger 131, are you tempted to recreate it, along with its battle damage?
I'm tempted but wont be this year.. i have planes to build
@@MOS6510Models I know...I'm just getting my mojo back after the Meteor FR 9 got the better of me. But - off down Dorset on honeymoon next week, Yeovilton and Bovington on the menu, bet I end up buying summat for for the sake of it!

My stash is already up to 25 kits, with a similar number built,so you can tell I'm struggling to hold back, probably like most scale modelling enthusiasts.
"Mystery bundles" is the last thing I want to introduce in my life, especially seeing as I like to build many different types of models and very carefully select the ones that meet my criteria.
Still, I'm a sucker for this content and everyone's different😁
Only 25 kits in your stash??
I'm kinda like you; I have very specific eras and subjects within those eras I'm interested in-- WW II isn't one of them (though occasionally will build some small wheeled vehicles). Getting a bundle like this would be pretty useless.
personallly now i ave them in my stash, if i got in the mood to build one, i have it.. lol
@@MOS6510Models Ahem😅
25? I wish. I have close to 300 kits in stash. At 67 I wonder if it's possible to build them all with what's left of my life time. Yet, I still recently got the 1/32 scale Devastator. Buying unknown subjects would be complete chaos. Have fun painting those bogey wheels.
@@danielbritton8588 You need a house just for that omg.
Yes, I figured there are people with huge collections, it's just that I recognize my problem early and try to do something about it :D
Thing is, scale model kits are just a beautiful present to ourselves, beautiful colorful boxes with beautiful things inside, we get lots of gratification from just recieving our "gifts".
And more often than not, the actual kit is not the biggest expense of this hobby.
Nice work Mos. Off topic slightly, but I was wondering if you'd bought the Airfix plane mystery box at £74.99 and what was in it.
i've bought them previously.. they change quite a bit..
Just ordered it looks like it's the same kits
Thank you @garethpearcemodels1086 for leaving a comment. Please subscribe if you haven't as yet.. It really helps the channel grow.
It only works out for those in the uk...if you live outside the uk its not worth it....none of these mystrey bundles are
i know matey... i wonder if they could do it another way
@@MOS6510Models to be honest ots not even their fault..obviouslyy there is the exchange rate plus the postage and now that the UK is no longer part of the E.U. there would be a customs charge on top of it so when you add it all up it would be cheaper to just pick up the kits in a shop here
I got the same items when I bought the bundle
ah brilliant.. let me know which ones you are building
I think everyone gets the same kits
@@MOS6510Modelsnot decided yet
i don't need any more kits, but that is a good deal
Yes you do lol 😂
@@MOS6510Models 😂
why did i get only 3 kits????
They were priced cheaper??
I just don’t understand how Airfix is able to with such a straight face commands, such high prices for the model kits when you compare them to other companies like Dragon. Don’t get me wrong. These kits are okay to a certain standard. That is some delusions of grandeur that they actually have. Especially as one of those kits is produced by Academy and sells for much cheaper.
Interesting take.. they haven't raised prices for over 3 years where others are hammering the scale modeller
The thing is. They ate teboxes of other kits. Mostky aitfix. They all need extras becayse most of tgese kuts came out in the 90s to about 10 to 15 years ago. Its a good dral if you don't care about what needs to added or the age of the kits. If there was one of their new 35th kits in the box, then it would be worth it. To me anyways.

Sorry for the writing. Lol. Sure. I'll add to your members.
Needed be 5 for it to be 50% discount
I have just got the latest aircraft mystery bundle and really chuffed with that.
yep they are excellent value for money
I'm trying to decide whether i get the aircraft one myself. definitely worth the money but theres the risk of already owning kits
AIrfix prices are much higher than the kits can be purchased on line.
true but they offer free postage where as model shops dont
Wait Airfix makes 1/35 tanks?
Shows I've been out of the loop for a bit.

It's a bargain if... IF... you want those kits or don't care what kits you get.
For those us us fairly passionate and selective about what models we actually buy, then obviously just adding up the value of the kits and subtracting what you paid in no way indicates their real value (these are interesting case studies for economics students!)..
I support Arsenal: if I bought a dozen random football shirts and five were Gunners, that'd be great value. If they were all from the Turkish B-league, it'd be an absolute rip off.
Isn’t that the point of a mystery box? Not knowing what you are gonna get.. hell, people sign up to monthly mystery boxes never knowing what delights they’ll receive.. it’s a business model that works time after time after time.. and Airfix sell a ton of them..
The football shirt analogy is far fetched..
you’re saying I buy 12 random kits and they were all MisterCraft kits I would be pissed off too.. you see your analogy doesn’t work..
you know exactly what you are buying.. Airfix 1/35 tanks.. which is limited range to be fair
The majority of us who buy mystery boxes don’t really care what we get.. we just see the value.. and I’ve built kits I would never dream of building because it’s just on my shelf looking at me..
Also I trade kits, so monetary value is king.. I’ve got 5 tanks at half price.. probably build two of them.. I’ve already swapped one for a different model that I couldn’t get hold of.
Value is in the eye of the beholder
@@MOS6510Models Not dissing on you old boy, just suggesting some critical thinking is needed to interpret that number in the title. I think most people understand they will be getting some 'slow moving stock', and your vid will be valuable in letting them see an example of what is coming.
Your second last paragraph here explains exactly the way to get the best value. In my country mail costs preclude trade so I was probably unconsciously taking the perspective that what comes out of the box is what I am stuck with.
@@lllordllloyd of course not matey.. its healthy debate which i love.. no dissing here :)
Problem with YT is you need a bit of a Click baity image to entice a view.. .. but in monetary value.. the saving is 100 and i feel that ive saved 100 on these models..
@@MOS6510Models Cheers mate, I will click whatever the title and wish you all the best with your channel.

All re-boxed Academy kits, poor detail and poor build quality for the RRP price, which is proven by Hornby having to sell them off in this way.

I bought this mystery bundle when it was at least 3 kits, I watched a You Tuber review and he got 4 kits, I got 3. I questioned Airfix about this, no reply. My gripe is it should be a specific number as it seems weighed in favour for You Tubers. I bet if I bought it I would only get 4 kits. I believe it to be a con and I would like to hear Airfix's explanation as it leaves a sour taste when you are trying to support a British company.
I disagree, how can they favour youtubers? there is even comments on here saying they have already bought the bundle and got the same 5 kits.. click the link and buy it and if you only get 4 i will send you a kit free of charge.. these bundles are set up to clear their stock..
@@MOS6510Models Thank you for the reply, I will give it another try but I noticed another person had the same problem in your comments. keep up the good work I am enjoying your vlogs and learning, boy am I learning, just got back into modelling about a year and a half ago and the difference between when I modelled in my teens to now is light years 🤣😂
@@patthompson2810 which comment? I’ve only seen someone say they got the same as me.. I guess if you combined the rrp of the three kits do you get the same saving? They are done on price not kits

It would save more than a hundred if you hadn't bought it at all😅

He is a cockerel.. we called him Egbert
Awful box art,,
I do wish you would stop tapping the box. It is very annoying.
Did you get anything else from the video??
These are all old kits I bet, I would guess reboxes of academy, you pay for what you get with Airfix, crap normally
what was the last kit you built from airfix?
