I can remember Grandad Dave never the same without Sam in the series .......
Watched James May as well i dont rate him as a presenter ......he always puts across is he isnt interested in the subject.
Best bits were the visit to the Airfix store & the footage of Spitfires

Always the spitfire. Could have made a Hurricane instead. There's not many of them about. If he was doing the first ever Airfix kit it should have been a Fordson Tractor.

I can't remember what my first kit was  Just remember my Dad made most of it . I did make a lot of tanks in my early kit making days as i was into 'War Games' I still have a lot of solders all mixed up in a box . Saving them just in case i do a 40's~50's layout with an Army camp .

Mine was a Hawker Typhoon. I liked the radiator. Must have been years before I bought a spitfire and then it came with a 110 in the Dogfight Doubles series.

Thinking about it i can remember building a Vauxhall car by myself when i was about 7 or 8 years old . My Dad was never into modelling so i would get bored as it was taking too long for him to build things

yes, the store was down at margate. Would love to have a good rummage in there!
I thought the program was quite good, the scalextric ones and the Model railway one will be the best.

I'm a bit late but....
*Puts Airfix anorak on (I've been building them for over 50 years) and starts spouting 'interesting facts'... sorry*
The model that was built was NOT the original design for BT-K. They actually used the later 1965 MkIV kit to produce the 1:1 kit.
The original BT-K was a copy of a 1:48 Aurora kit [complete with the same fake squadron codes (BT-K) and the same inaccuracies and exactly the same parts sprue, just a smaller scale] which came out a couple of months before the Airfix one. No-one in Airfix can 'remember' if there was a deal done with Aurora but both companies 'were on friendly terms' at the time.
Superb programme, I enjoyed every minute and look forward to the rest...
