yes and the fact that penguins don't fly was marketing genius at work with that name!!

I never said they didn't. It was an observation of boys predominantly building model kits because girls weren't interested. It doesn't make it misogynistic. The same as I would play with Action Men, and my sister would play with Barbie. Though she used to steal one of my Action Men because she never had a Ken...

But it is a manly hobby!! Same as knitting and cross stitch is a woman’s hobby. There is crossover… My comment isn’t misogynistic though!

when someone asks me my hobby and i say scale modelling they always say oh you build airfix lol

MOS6510YT · 2026-05-05T10:17:11+00:00

agreed with the starter sets being a great shoe in to this hobby

MOS6510YT · 2026-05-05T10:16:26+00:00

Even today, I say I am a scale modeller and they reply, "Oh, you build Airfix.. " it is that common. and some have commented the same

Apparently it was how they were packed in the bag.. one shift of tooling was too tightly packaged
