    Nephew may be hooked

    Hi all had my missus brother and family over this week and the nephew spent a lot of time in my model den, really interested so, with his parents consent sent him home with. 1/72 Airfix hurricane (I started on Airfix so it's good enough for him) we may have another recruit (he's8)

    Nice one. I wonder if we all should keep an Airfix starter set to one side just in case of a situation like this !

        Great to see younger people getting into our hobby recently.

          That's how I started back into modelling - someone bought my grandson an Airfix kit which I had to build for him!

            Same here dave although this was a birthday present for an old chap down the pub who served in the Royal Navy during WWII and I was the only one who had built models before so it fell to me
