One of the good things I find about Airfix is that it is ideal if your kids are interested or you are trying to interest them. The new Revell and Japanese kits may be great if you want to build a detailed kit, a hundred fiddly bits is useless for 8 year old. The old Arifix kits however are ideal. And ,I know what to expect because I’ve built most of them in the past myself!
Not too long ago I stumbled across the old Westland Scout kit. I built loads of these as a kid and couldn’t resist. It surprised me that it was a lot harder to put together than I remember.
That got me the bug back and I’ve built quite a few models over the last few years. Sadly, with nowhere to put them now – it’s a hobby I’ll no doubt return to in my golden years.
