A history of Airfix HO/OO AFV kits - Part 1 - Introduction

As I have recently been doing more work on my accumulation (sorry, but I can't bring mysely to call it a 'collection') of 20mm toys and in particular refurbishing some older conversions (see http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2010/11/john-g-robertson-20mm-conversions.html and http://megablitzandmore.blogspot.com/2010/09/panthers.html) I found myself thinking about just how old some of theese kits are.

As a result, what I propose to do is a short series of posts on the various vehicle kits Airfix have produced in this scale.  Leaving aside the very recent releases (even I now acknowledge that 1977 is no longer 'very recent'), the list of kits runs to 35.  Of these I have built all but 4 over the years.  Most of them many times. Many, many* times.
