Prabal, with you on this. However, it is a closely guarded secret. I had once contacted a seller who had advertised himself as a manufacturer of 'Airfix construction model kits' on tradeindia or some other forum. Once I got him on the line, he flatly refused any conversation saying that it was a mistaken identity / wrong number.

It is a fact that most Airfix kits are manufactured in India. Buy a kit and you may find (8 out of 10 cases) that it says 'Made in India" on the carton. What a pity!

Iyer Sahab - rummage, rummage, rummage - and once you find, whatever you don't need - send them to me.
