Following his graduation, he originally accepted a position with a firm of architects, but realised quite quickly that he wanted to work on design projects similar to those he had trained on during his time at University. Having said that, Airfix are obviously always on the lookout for new design talent and we are delighted to introduce Workbench readers to the latest member of the team and the current new tooling project he is working on.Īnother product design graduate from Loughborough University, an institution which has proved a fertile hunting ground for Airfix over the years, Adam French only joined the design team last November, so is definitely still the newby of the group. Many of us mere modelling mortals have probably thought many times over the years that a job with Airfix would be right up their street and an ideal way to combine their beloved hobby with paid employment, but having read our blog development articles and discovered the specialist skillset of our small, but highly talented team, have no doubt decided that it is better if we leave this work to the experts. From a production and editing perspective, it has been particularly rewarding to feature the young design professionals who are new to the team and just embarking on their Airfix careers and to see how they fearlessly step into some very big modelling hobby shoes. This computer rendered 3D image taken from the development of the new Quickbuild F-35B Lightning II shows how impressive this new model is, a new kit which is surely destined to become one of the most popular in the entire Airfix rangeĭuring almost five years of producing our Workbench blog, we have been in the privileged position to showcase the unique talents of the Airfix design and development team on many previous occasions, with these articles always proving extremely popular with our readers who like nothing more than being able to put a name to the latest model projects. New Quickbuild F-35B Lightning II takes off Our latest instalment of Airfix news and exclusives now awaits your perusal. We have a stunning selection of built model images featuring a relatively recent 1/72nd scale kit release, one which depicts an aircraft which was quite unique in WWII Royal Air Force terms and we end by looking back at one of this year’s few early season model shows to take place and some of the magnificent modelling we found on display at a leisure centre in West Yorkshire. We also have the pleasure of introducing our readers to the latest member of the Airfix development team and feature his handiwork on the only new 2020 aviation tooling addition to the popular Quickbuild range. One is a relatively small, yet extremely agile training aircraft, whilst the other is a fifth generation combat aircraft and one of the most capable multi-role combat aeroplanes in the world.

So what do we have for you in this latest edition? Our first two features serve as something of a modelling jetfest, as we bring you details from two current projects which highlight the development of post war jets which have seen service with the Royal Air Force.

Our intention is to maintain our usual publication dates and we will update readers with any revised product release dates as soon as these become available. We appear to have reached that point now, but thankfully, we still have plenty of information to bring you, even if it is in a different order than we had originally planned. With the ongoing worldwide restrictions on individuals and businesses continuing to have a significant impact on everyday life, there was always going to be the likelihood that production uncertainties would have an impact on the availability of project updates scheduled for inclusion in our Workbench blog. Welcome to this latest edition of Workbench and all the news, updates and exclusive announcements from the fascinating world of Airfix modelling.
