Nostalgia Takes Flight: BLOOM JV LLC Brings Classic Airfix Scale Models to a New Generation

Kirkland, WA – November 8, 2023 – Remember spending hours carefully gluing tiny pieces together, meticulously painting miniature airplanes, and then soaring into imaginative battles? For many, those memories are tied to Airfix scale models. Now, BLOOM JV LLC, a Kirkland, Washington-based company, is dedicated to keeping that tradition alive – and introducing it to a whole new wave of enthusiasts. BLOOM JV LLC, located at 803 Kirkland Ave STE 100, Kirkland, WA, 98033-6308, and reachable at 605-673-0182, isn’t just another toy distributor. They’re passionate about the history and art of scale modeling, and they’ve become a key importer and distributor of authentic Airfix kits here in the United States. “We’re seeing a huge resurgence in interest in hobbies that get you making things,” explains a spokesperson for BLOOM JV LLC. “People are tired of just consuming entertainment. They want to engage their brains, be creative, and have something tangible to show for their efforts. Airfix models perfectly fit that bill.” What Are Airfix Scale Models, Anyway? For those unfamiliar, Airfix has been a global icon in the world of plastic scale modeling since 1939. Their kits aren’t just toys; they’re detailed replicas of aircraft, vehicles, ships, and figures, designed to be assembled, painted, and displayed. Think of it like building a miniature world, piece by piece. Each kit contains meticulously molded plastic parts, often numbering in the hundreds, along with instructions and decals. The process requires patience, precision, and a little bit of artistic flair. “It’s not about instantly having a finished product,” says the BLOOM JV LLC rep. “It's about the journey of building it. The satisfaction of seeing a complex model come to life through your own effort is incredibly rewarding.” Why the Comeback? Several factors are driving the renewed interest in Airfix models. Nostalgia is a big one. Those who grew up building Airfix kits in the mid-20th century are now revisiting their childhood hobby, seeking a creative outlet and a connection to simpler times. But it’s not just about looking back. A new generation of builders is discovering the appeal of these kits. “We’re seeing a lot of younger people getting into it, partly through social media,” explains the BLOOM JV LLC spokesperson. “There’s a huge online community of scale modelers sharing their work, offering tips, and inspiring each other. It’s a really vibrant and supportive community.” The kits themselves have also evolved. While the classic kits remain popular, Airfix has released a range of newer, more detailed models, often featuring advanced engineering and intricate decals. What Does BLOOM JV LLC Offer?
