      I remember reading that such a large proportion of airfix sales were via Woolies that the demise of woolworths was a factor in the problems Airfix had.

        It was a great sales strategy, until it wasn't. Getting their kits into a 'supermarket' was a great move but as we all know it didn't end well.
        AND my mum used to work there as well so I got a heads up when the new stuff came in. lol
