1:72 Scale
If Airfix has a home scale, this is it. More kits build at 1:72 than at any other scale, led by aircraft but joined by tanks, helicopters, figure sets and a Moon landing. Big enough to detail, small enough to collect: that balance is the whole idea.

Airfix 1:72 model kits across every subject
Aircraft dominate: most of the aircraft model kits catalogue builds at this scale, fighters and bombers alike. Around them sit the 1:72 starter-set tanks under tank model kits, bomber re-supply sets from model figures, and the One Small Step For Man set from the space range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 1:72 the key Airfix scale?
Balance. At 1:72 a fighter fits in one hand and a bomber on one shelf, yet both carry real detail, so collections grow without a house extension. The scale's depth feeds itself: more subjects at 1:72 means more reasons to stay.
Which subjects share 1:72 scale?
Aircraft above all, but also the Tiger 1 and the Sherman Firefly starter tanks, the Royal Air Force (RAF) and United States Army Air Forces (USAAF) bomber re-supply figure sets, and one spacecraft set. It's the closest thing the catalogue has to a universal scale.
