- We have a real treat for you today this dinosaurs kit from 2005! Did you build this kit? Let us know in the comments!
In this video, we're diving into the world of vintage model kits with an unboxing of the 2005 Airfix dinosaurs kit. Join us as we take a trip down memory lane and explore this classic set that includes three iconic dinosaurs: the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, the armoured Stegosaurus, and the formidable Triceratops.

Bring kits like this back
"Should we bring back dinosaur models?" - the answer is always and forever a resounding YES!!!!! ... maybe with updated molds, but even without, I'd build them! After all, Tamiya *did* just re-release their Pteradon this year and it's an older style of our understanding of the animal's physiology.
Those models were fun!
While elements might be out of date, this kit would be perfect for younger kids. It looks relatively easy to assemble, and the bigger parts are a good way to learn how to paint.
Nice. I would buy one of those kits.
I made this in the 80s. I seem to remember swapping left and right legs!
they look like they would be a fun build, and something different for the display shelf!
Bring this kit back as a Vintage please!
I actually built an original release Triceratops this month. The box actually has a copyright year of 1976 rather than 1977 on it suggesting that is when the tooling was actually made.
I painted it in a blueish grey with darker stripes. A dark wash really highlighted all of the detail on the kit. It's not something I'd normally do but it was an enjoyable kit to build.
Yes please I'll buy it 😊
I built some of these in the 90s, I still have one or two displayed on the shelf along with some from Revell/Aurora
I agree with other comments you should fetch this range back. I think it would go down well with the younger generation of modellers I know my nephew would like it he's seven years old and mad on dinosaurs. I also built the stegosaurus back in 1980 myself.
Definitely 👍🏻
Is this the oldest kit Airfix have ever made? 😁 You know how dangerous it is to bring dinosaurs back, so yeah. Bring them back. 🐉🦖😁
These would look great in a 'Land that time forgot ' diorama.
Great idea!
@@OfficialAirfix Maybe a title for a vintage release?
I would be glad to have it!
I like the subject. Dinosaurs make a nice change from aircraft and vehicles. I have got the Tamiya dinosaur diorama sets they are very good. I think that easy build starter sets are the way to go
And who doesn’t love dinosaurs! Thanks for watching 🙂
Got those dinosaurs in 1979, with glorious vintage painted art boxes. Still got them, with parts missing, broken, but they were so much fun to build that I'll never even consider an option to get rid of these old plastic bad painted pieces. :D
Cool 🦎
Cheeky! The box art doesn't look at all like the moulded parts. The sprues have some 1920's vibe going on and the Tyrannosaur isn't big enough 😊
We are as far apart in time from the T-rex as it was from the Stegosaurus.
Rivet counting - dinosaur style...😊
I had the Airfix Pteranodon, Brontosaurus and Dimetrodon kits.
There needs to be a release of the figures and birds range again.
These old model kit reviews are grand. I am surprised that more coverage of the early type packaging from Airfix isn't available. I collect the Blue Edged Box versions of the HO/OO range of figures. (I have a number of white edition boxes too). The Box Art was a powerful motivator for children to buy these little soldiers.
Many of my Boxes have never been opened and are in Mint condition. Airfix is an extremely attractive brand.
Thanks for watching Tom! Do you have any favourites?
@@OfficialAirfix Do you mean favourite episodes you have shown, or favourite items I would like to see on your channel? Or do you mean do I have a favourite Box Art?
That’s a bit more like it! New toolings though?
They live in the very hot life of North America? Wha? Did they have drive-by T-Rexxings, too? Lol...😂
I see the volume was turned off on us who want the 1/76 miniature figures.
Is it still avalable
So out of date. lol Palaeontology has come on a long way since these were produced.
Airfix should make some dinosaurs to modern research standards. They should come packed in baked earth which you have to scrape away with a trowel to get to the parts.
Please do a parasaurolophus! 🙏🙏
The 'dig your own dinosaur' kits always sound like a fun idea, but can become messy fast. I've been asked to avoid them by my sister in law for future presents.
@@AndrewMcColl
haha
Just to be clear, I wasn't being serious about the necessity for a trowel and housepaint brush! lol
@@pencilpauli9442 fair enough. There's enough of those dog kits on the shelves already anyway :p
Believe it or not, there's already those that have, indeed, model kits inside! They are, of course, up to the standard that you'd expect for kids, and usually don't need painting, but my little one LOVES those and as such we've built a few 😅
@@fenrismodels
That's cool and all, but I want some dinos for me. lol
Lets be honest, these were pretty poor when compared to the Aurora Prehistoric Scenes models of the early 70s and could explain why Airfix sticks to planes and military vehicles today.....
