Did the painter Andrew Wyeth own any Airfix soldiers? As a boy, young Andrew loved to act out scenes from the story of Robin Hood. As an adult, he would probably have enjoyed playing with the Airfix kit that facilitates a re-creation of Robin Hood’s exploits.

One time, Andrew older brother and his father made a model of an old castle. They gave it to Andrew one Christmas. Andrew loved to take his soldiers and scale the walls of that castle. Andrew Wyeth would have admired all the details on the Airfix buildings. Some old castles have served as models for the miniature replicas that have gone into the various Airfix kits.

Airfix does make a kit that allows a hobbyist to re-create Robin Hood’s adventures. The same Company also makes kits that allow for a re-creation of the battles that took place during World War I and II. In addition, it makes a kit that includes tiny versions of the old Roman soldiers.

The Airfix Company is located in England. Therefore, it does not produce any kits that might be of interest to a Civil War buff. The Airfix product line also lacks any kits that contain miniature replicas of the ancient Persian soldiers.

While Andrew Wyeth might have enjoyed playing with soldiers, he never chose to do a painting that showed soldiers in battle. Many of his paintings focused on some sort of rural scene. He did do a few nude drawings. The woman who posed for those drawings once lived in Germany. She, along with her sister and Mother had escaped from Nazi occupied Germany.

Maybe Airfix should make a kit that would allow for a depiction of their exciting escape.  That kit would need to have a few Nazi soldiers and also a some sort of civilian sailing vessel.
