Possibly bad news for any model airplane enthusiasts as British modelling company Airfix faces a possible closure if things don't improve dramatically.

Jeremy Brook, of the Airfix Collectors Club, said it was a sad day for those with fond memories of having sticky fingers as they struggled with often intricate kit arrangements.

"When you think of construction kits, you think of Airfix," he said.
"All the schoolboys of the 50s, 60s and 70s remember them, being covered in glue and cutting your fingers as you assembled them.

"It's a great shame if Airfix is going to languish or go completely."
