Airfix! Now there's a topic of converstation ABO. I too spent most of my youth (and meagre pocket-money) on Airfix kits. Mostly tanks(of course) but I cut my modelling teeth on building those kits. I used to avidly read the minimal historical info on the back of each stapled poly bag (no boxes then). I graduated onto the Airfix monthly magazine and followed all the conversion and scratch-building guides. Airfix must have had by far the biggest influence on me as a youth. I still love building models and I still have all those Airfix magazines on my bookshelves (sad or what?).

Yeah I remember those bags, aaaaaah, the good ol days! Can't remember how young I was when I started but I could give the glue genie at Heng long a good run for his money! Those mags must be worth a few bob now, bet they bring back a few old memories too. I don't think I could model in 1/72nd any more, me poor old eyes couldn't see the bits!

Its rather nice to regale tales from before the inventings of the pc and internet! Well, I may not even be out of education but even I spent my youth building airfix tanks ships, and the odd plane.
