Gift ideas for modellers who already have all the kits

It’s an age-old problem for the family members of Airfix modellers: what do you buy for the hobbyist who already seems to have everything modelling related?! We feel your pain, but luckily, we have a few suggestions to help make your Christmas shopping easier this year.

Think beyond the kit

If they really do have all the kits already, you have to think outside of the box.

Become the master of unique modelling gifts by making up a hamper of Airfix accessories. Choose a few paints, different brushes, glues, varnishes and weathering supplies, so they’ve got everything they need when a new kit comes out. Then finish it off with possibly the best mug and drinks bottle on the planet!

Buy them a bundle

Our bundles represent excellent value for money and if you’re not sure which kit to buy someone, you can hedge your bets by buying them several kits for less. Or, you can set them up for modelling a brand-new subject. (Psst... modellers never have enough models, so you can’t go wrong!)

We also have bundles that combine tools, paints and accessories, which are always useful additions to modelling workbenches.

Sign them up to the Airfix Club

This is the perfect gift for modellers, giving them access to Club exclusive products, competitions and the Airfix Club magazine. Plus, they get the coveted Red Box, that comes with an exclusive kit, stickers, wall calendar, checklist and keyring. Oh, and they receive 10% off all products for the year too.

If they’re not already signed up, this is a gift they’ll love you for!

Fill a stocking

Check out our Airfix stocking fillers for the best hobby gifts for adults that are under £20. This way, you can get them kits to make in between their bigger builds, useful accessories for their workbench, and some Airfix merchandise – you can never have enough Airfix Caps and Flight Patches, after all!

If your loved one is a hardcore Airfix modeller, getting them a great gift might feel like a daunting task at first, but it really is one of the easiest presents to tick off your list. With our handy guide, you can get them something they really want, enhancing their hobby and making their Christmas great!
