About the Author:
Trevor Pask has been modeling since childhood, a timespan that includes most of Airfix's existence. He has been writing on modeling subjects for some years and has penned articles and regular columns for several of the major British and European modeling magazines.
Review:
“Airfix Kits is a sharp little book about the venerable British model kit company. It's a brisk 56 pages with oodles of color photographs. Written with experience and humor, it's apparent that the author is a long-time modeler... There are more voluminous and focused Airfix books in print (these are referenced in the bibliography), but Shire Books' Airfix Kits fills a niche. Readable in one sitting, it's a concise history at a low price--an ideal book for the hobbyist wishing to save time and money for that next model kit.” ―Andrew Brozyna, Ferrous Lands
