Kits & Bits: 31st May 2025
Welcome to the first of our new newsletters - Kits & Bits.
This is the new home of all things model kit related, including news from Airfix, Revell, Heller, Tamiya and all the other kit manufacturers we stock. This dedicated newsletter also contains all the exciting new releases from these brands, and we have exciting additions coming in the future, too.
Why are you receiving this newsletter? Well, we know the subjects covered here were traditionally in our Main Lines email, so we wanted to introduce you all to this new publication before we separate it completely, If you are interested in continuing to receive these newsletters make sure you check your preferences to include Model Kits and Wargaming as one of your interests. If you're not interested in receiving these, don't worry, there's nothing you need to do. From the next issue, we will only be sending these to those of you who have the Model Kit preference saved. Now, onto the news!
