When I was a child in the early 60s Airfix kits were within pocket money range. You could buy a Mk1 Spitfire from Woolworths for two shillings and six old pence which is roughly equivalent to £2.50 at today's prices. The current price of the same kit, albeit from new moulds, is £8.99! I don't think the quality of production has increased by quite the same margin over the years.

Incidentally, Dapol are still producing the Airfix range of model railway buildings from the original 40 year old moulds.
