Excellence in kit form

As a youngster from the colonies, newly landed in a small Welsh seaside town, there were many delights, many, many new experiences - and very cold winters with loads of fluffy white stuff. Porthcawl had small Woolies, A store bigger than any shop I had ever previously seen. It was on a visit to Woolies that I came across my first Airfix model, A spitfire in a plastic bag with a paper header, It was a love at first sight, in fact an affair that become a business. 50 years have past and the models have changed, becoming much larger, more varied in subject matter, and far larger varied price range. One of the newer examples seen here.
