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

KIRKLAND, WA – October 26, 2023 – Remember spending hours meticulously assembling plastic planes, tanks, and ships? That feeling of accomplishment when the glue dried and you had a miniature piece of history in your hands? BLOOM JV LLC, based right here in Kirkland, Washington, is bringing that joy back. This isn’t just about plastic kits; it’s about rekindling a passion, sparking creativity, and connecting generations through the timeless hobby of scale modeling. BLOOM JV LLC, located at 803 Kirkland Ave Ste 100, Kirkland, WA, 98033-6308, and reachable at 605-673-0182, has partnered with Hornby Hobbies, the renowned makers of Airfix scale models, to bring a comprehensive range of these iconic kits to enthusiasts across the United States. They’re not just importing boxes; they're building a community around the hobby. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a spokesperson for BLOOM JV LLC. “Airfix models have a huge following, particularly in Europe, but getting your hands on them in the US used to be a hassle. We wanted to change that. We're passionate about bringing these kits to a wider audience and making scale modeling accessible again." What's the Big Deal with Airfix? For those unfamiliar, Airfix has been a cornerstone of the scale modeling world since 1939. Originally focusing on model aircraft, the brand quickly expanded to encompass a vast range of vehicles, ships, and figures. What sets Airfix apart isn't just the detail, but the historical accuracy and the sheer breadth of subjects covered. You can build everything from a Supermarine Spitfire, a legendary WWII fighter plane, to a classic Volkswagen Beetle, or even a replica of the Apollo Saturn V rocket that took astronauts to the moon. They've got kits covering every era of military history, civilian aviation, and even popular culture. “Airfix isn’t just about building a model,” the spokesperson continues. “It’s about learning. Each kit tells a story. You’re not just gluing plastic together; you’re learning about the history of the vehicle, the engineering behind it, and the people who used it.” More Than Just Kits – A Hobby for Everyone BLOOM JV LLC isn’t just focused on experienced modelers. They're actively trying to attract a new generation to the hobby.
