# Airfix models were great
None of this PS3 malarky. In those days, toys were real toys, kids were real kids, men were real men.

# Ohhhh....
You know what, that never even occurred to me. But thinking about it now, it would have looked a hell of a lot neater. D'oh!

Never mind, they all went out of the window in the end, to see if they could fly.

# The person I gave it too
was in "Yay! Airfix kit!" mode and therefore glued it together within a couple of days - but then i think it lost it's appeal when he remembered he didn't have any paint

# I bought one of my friend a big antenov plane
he built then said that the cockpit didn't look good enough, so he got a block of rubber and carved out a more realistic cockpit.

# My gf bought me a tamiya 1/24 model of my car for christmas
and i'm determined to make it properly and YES that means painting it before putting it together. Christ its hard to resist the childhood urges of, "argh f*ck it, stick it all together NOW!"

# And you could get high on the glue
and because it had the same effect on parents they weren't at all bothered
