You'll find yourself smiling with nostalgia at some of these rare vintage/collectable model kits as you recall a golden age when pocket money was saved and endless hours spent whilst dad or grandad fussed with the Humbrol paints and mum threatened blue murder if you got as much as a drop of Airfix glue on her tablecloth.
My first kit was a 1/72 scale model of the Airfix Concorde and I can still remember having to sit there whilst Dad, tongue out the side of his mouth, glued it all together - all the while insisting he was only trying to help…with my birthday present! Today we watch our kids lost in their iPhones and video games and wonder how to entice them back and engage in some quality family time - perhaps a shared project over a vintage model kit might be just the trick - only don’t go hogging all the assembly!
