New Beginnings

Did you see the James May programme about the Airfix Spitfire? Brought back a few memories for me, being of the over 40 brigade. I wondered just how many Spitfires I had built in my youth. How many model aircraft had hung from my teenage bedrooms' ceiling during the seventies?
I imagine that the James May programme was a great boost for Airfix, as well as Revell, Tamiya, Italeri et al. Maybe it didn't inspire many younger modelers, but, like me, brought back the memories of Airfix paints & tubes of glue and turps!!. And then the urge came rushing back.
So off I went to the local model shop and emerged with a small box and a handful of paints, brushes and cement. Eargerly, back home, I eagerly opened the box, and began to build. The bug had bitten!!
