I wonder how many people hunted down an Airfix Spitfire kit to build with their kids after being inspired by James May’s Toy Stories: Airfix.
Watched the TV show, bought the Airfix model kit

My nearly 4 year old son thinks James May is a god.
His favourite TV programmes in the last 6 months have been:
1. James May – The Edge Of Space
2. James May’s Toy Stories: Airfix
3. James May’s Toy Stories: Plasticene
In fact, looks like the whole of South West London has sold out of plasticene as a result of item 3 – my wife had a fruitless search for the stuff this afternoon.
And yes, I will be tracking down some classic Airfix kits to build – namely a Saturn V rocket, a Panther tank – and dare I say it, a Heinkel He111 – gotta love that green house nose. Now, where did I leave my Humbrol paint pot?
Hi Andy – Spot on. And then there was Meccano last night. I didn’t watch up, but will dig it out on iPlayer. Its a great series that is no doubt bringing about a resurgence in traditional construction toys in the UK. Cheers, Stephen
