thanks for the link , one thing is for sure the pastime is no longer a thing for little lads spending their half crowns (2/6d) over the counter at the local Woolworths for the 'new' spitfire or messerschmitt , or 5 shillings for the Hood or the Bismark, now it seems the only ones 'playing' with these kits are grown -ups who are prepared to pay serious money .

guess its a sign of the times, but I still think I got more fun out of playing with my 'airfix' kits and Meccano than todays youngsters with gameboys and x boxs,

apologies for begining to sound like a miserable owd sod , will leave that to others
