The best Airfix model kits for Christmas 2025

Airfix model kits are not just for Christmas, but they do make incredible festive gifts! Whether you know a keen modeller or you want to help someone get into the hobby, we’ve got the best presents to buy for your whole Christmas list.

For younger modellers: QUICKBUILD Ford Mustang GT 1968

There’s only one way to start an Airfix hobby at a young age, and that’s with our amazing QUICKBUILD range. These snap together pieces don’t need any glue or paint, so you can leave them to build, confident that you won’t return to an unfixable mess. And few model subjects could ever be as cool as a Ford Mustang GT – in fact, we think this is one that the grown-ups might want to help with too.

Starter Sets are ideal Airfix kits for beginners that come with all the glues, paints and instructions needed to take this kit from sprues to complete aircraft.
