No, I never did the Bentley. I wasn't reall much into cars as a Kid. Just found out that the 24th scale kits are still available for about 50-odd quid, but most surprisingly that there is a NEW kit out in that scale - The De Havilland Mosquito! :thud: R.R.P. £113.00! :thud: I bet that's VAST.

did build a flying spitfire from balsa wood, tissue, dope etc when I was about 11- about 3 ' wingspan.
great fun.
never really liked airfix as you couldn't play with it like lego or mecanno.

From: Northants. 22B sold, as-new Lotus Omega instead.
Wonder if it's "sponsored" by Hornby? Hmm, hour long programmes on Airfix, Scalextric, Hornby railways and their former product Meccano 
. Their Marketing Department must think that all their Christmases have come at once! 
Generally a good show, but he did revisit the myth that the Spitfire won the Battle of Britain, when everyone knows that the Hurricane was around in much larger numbers and shot down far more Luftwaffe planes at that particular time.

Although in my opinion the efficiency of our radar & early warning stations played a far bigger one
As did the fact that both strategically and tactically, Adolf Hitler was a clueless fcukwit

That programme made me want to do one of their classic 1/24th scale aeroplane kits again. My favourite was the JU87B Stuka - I think it was Airfix's best ever kit, and trust me - I built a few, lol. I've done it twice before; once when I was a kid of about ten or eleven and once when I was about twenty. Strangely, I found the Spitfire one the least challenging and a bit simplistic, but the Hawker Hurricane, Messerchmitt ME109E and the Stuka were simply brilliant. Huge kits, though. 
I do look on Ebay from time to time a put a punt in on the 1/24th scale kits
