Probably but my parents say there isn't anything up there ! I don't ever remember giving anything away and I used to box things back up to keep them in good condition

My dad was an Airfix rep. when I was a tooodler! Shame I was too young for solvent abuse at the time but spent the rest of my years as a kid determined to build kits without ending up with opaque cockpit canopies! Heinkle, stuka, meteor and messerschmitt 262 were my favourites! Had a german theme going then too.

Went into a shop a few weeks ago, hobbycraft... was bored to titness of fkn crepe paper, until that is... found a model shop, inside the shop! Oohooo! Train sets cost a bloody fortune now just incase you're wondering!

did you harangue him regarding the ubiquitous missing part that halts production faster than a trade union?

Dunnno if it was so cool for him, spent his life ravaging the motorways of great Britain, visiting and stocking up model shops in a bright orange Mk11 escort estate.
