AIRFIX LAUNCH TWO BAA-RILLIANT NEW MODELS!

Enjoy all the fun of the farm with the brand new Shaun the Sheep range from Airfix

For the first time ever, fans of the loveable Shaun the Sheep will be able to re-create the scenes of his mischievous deeds with two new exciting Airfix model sets. Available this week, the kits contain everything modellers need to make mayhem in the meadows!

Shaun the Sheep with Landrover

The Farmer’s Landrover is the perfect place for Shaun to lock up the bane of his life, the Naughty Pigs. It also makes a good playpen for tiny Timmy the Lamb, who looks innocent but gets into all sorts of trouble! The kit comes with a Landrover model plus character figures of Shaun, the Naughty Pigs and Timmy the lamb priced at £22.99.

Shaun the Sheep with Tractor

Sheep dog Bitzer tries desperately to control the enthusiastic yet inexperienced Shaun. This model sees the beleaguered Bitzer, whistle at the ready, standing guard over the Farmer’s tractor as Shaun takes the wheel. The kit contains a superb model of the tractor as well as Shaun and Bitzer figures. Priced again at £22.99.

Aimed at fans aged 8+, each of the models arrives boxed in individual parts, just like the classic Airfix models of old. A selection of paints and glue are also included enabling modellers to let their imagination run wild as they create their very own Shaun the Sheep models!

Shaun the Sheep first appeared in Aardman Animation’s Wallace and Gromit: A Close Shave. The character proved so popular that he is now the star of his own stop-motion animation on CBBC with a range of DVDs, books and toys available.

The new Shaun the Sheep range follows on from the hugely popular Wallace and Gromit kits already produced by Airfix. The new sets give modellers the chance to reunite Shaun with his original co-stars!

Airfix will continue to create and produce the traditional military models that saw them win the hearts of many generations.
