They Didn't Have Anything More Modern? Airfix DH.88 Comet Model Kit in 1/72 Scale - Unboxing Review

In June 2026 the discount supermarket Lidl released a limited range of Airfix model kits in the UK. Featuring a new and distinctive "retro" style art work, these gift sets contained models of a variety of different subjects. Join me on the workbench in this unboxing review as I explore one of these gift sets - the 1/72 scale De Havilland DH.88 Comet (A68229) plastic model kit from Airfix. In this unboxing review I explore the information on the box, the included paint scheme, the quality of the decals and included plastic parts. I also take a look at the included accessories such as the paint, cement and brush - which is what makes this a gift set. I round of the video by exploring some of the history of this kit and sharing my thoughts in a conclusion.
