Maybe Airfix (Hornby) have upped the standard a little hey Wolster? That would be nice. I still feel a real nostalgia when I see their packaging. If they're as good as you say, maybe I'll investigate just for 'old times sake'.
MAGNA, the guy that builds the ships regularly wins first prize in his category at the local Expo (Queen's Birthday w'kend). He brings maybe two finished models to the club per year because they take him so long...his French battleship 'Richelieu' is a masterpiece. He modelled it as it was during a refit. He's depicted it being re-painted...a novel idea and excellently finished. Unfortunately, the guy himself reinforces the classic 'modeller' stereotype. Every time I try to talk to him (I'm pretty confident and out going) he seems to want to fold himself up and disappear...he's painfully shy. I'll tell him though...it might help his confidence in some small way.
Peace.
