Airfix Magazine was the first British magazine dedicated to the hobby of plastic modelling. It was launched in 1960 in association with the model kit company Airfix, and ceased publication in 1993. Originally a small-format magazine, it increased in sized eventually to A4 format in January 1976. It covered various scale modelling subjects, including aircraft, railways, ships, vehicles (military and civilian), and military figures. 
Although carrying the Airfix branding, the magazine was impartial in its editorial content and featured kits from other manufacturers.
History.
The first issue was dated June 1960. The title was taken over by PSL Publications Ltd. in 1967. From 1978, it was produced by a succession of small publishers (with some interruptions) until September 1987. The title was subsequently acquired by Alan W. Hall (Publications) Ltd. and publishing resumed with the September 1988 issue. Occasionally reduced to a bi-monthly periodical, publication finally ceased after the October/November 1993 issue.
In 2010, Key Publishing launched "Airfix Model World", a magazine very similar in concept to Airfix Magazine.
