As we know, Hornby need all the sales they can get, they wouldn't do it they didn't have to. I can't see any publicity benefits here I'm afraid.

Yes, I've got the same feeling. Maybe I'm conditioned to seeing blue, grey and yellow together.

I think Airfix is meant to be the most profitable as it can be sold in the largest number of countries and is able to maintain a good price. Scalextric has suffered the most from computer gaming competition but that too is sold worldwide. The railway ranges are higher value but profitability is lower as they don't get the economies of scale of the other ranges, as models tend to appeal to fewer countries.

All manufacturing is outsourced and is mostly overseas, the exception being some of the Humbrol range which is made by English manufacturers for Hornby.. The Airfix QuickBuild kits used to be made in the UK but like the rest of the Airfix range, are made in India.

Thank you for confirming that Bachmann is a subsidiary of Kader. I had posted the link to the 2019 Kader accounts in my post evidencing this, but as a newbie poster, some members were understandably sceptical.
