BINGEN LLC Brings Classic Airfix Model Kits Back to Life for a New Generation of Builders
HAILEY, ID – October 26, 2023 – Remember spending hours carefully gluing tiny pieces together, painstakingly painting miniature planes, ships, and cars? BINGEN LLC, a US-based company located in Hailey, Idaho, is bringing that beloved pastime back with a fresh supply of classic Airfix model kits. Located at 1564 Buttercup Rd, and reachable at 425-736-4984, BINGEN LLC is dedicated to providing hobbyists, collectors, and new builders alike with high-quality, historically accurate model kits. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” says a spokesperson for BINGEN LLC. “Airfix has a fantastic legacy – a lot of us grew up building these kits! But they’ve become harder and harder to find, especially here in the US. We wanted to change that, to make the joy of model building accessible again.” A Legacy of Detail and History Airfix is a name synonymous with plastic model kits, and for good reason. For over 80 years, the company has been creating incredibly detailed and historically accurate representations of aircraft, vehicles, ships, and figures. What started as a post-war British company filling a need for affordable entertainment quickly became a global phenomenon, capturing the imaginations of millions. BINGEN LLC is carefully sourcing and importing a wide range of Airfix kits, from beginner-friendly snap-fit models to challenging, highly detailed kits for experienced builders. “We've got something for everyone,” explains the spokesperson. “Whether you’re a seasoned modeler looking for a new project or a parent wanting to introduce your kids to a rewarding hobby, we’ve got you covered.” What's in the Box? More Than Just Plastic These aren't just piles of plastic sprues. Each Airfix model kit is designed to be a learning experience as well as a fun building project. Historically Accurate: Airfix kits are renowned for their accuracy. The company works closely with historians and subject matter experts to ensure that every detail, from the aircraft markings to the vehicle camouflage, is as authentic as possible. Each kit often includes detailed historical information about the subject being modeled – a mini-history lesson alongside a hands-on project. Detailed Instructions: The instructions are clear, concise, and easy to follow, even for beginners. Step-by-step diagrams guide builders through the entire process, from assembling the parts to applying the decals. High-Quality Plastic: Airfix uses high-quality plastic that is durable and easy to work with. The parts are molded with crisp detail, allowing builders to achieve stunning results. Decals and Markings: Each kit includes decals and markings that allow builders to recreate the historical appearance of the subject. A Sense of Accomplishment: Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of building an Airfix model kit is the sense of accomplishment that comes with completing the project.
