I'm rediscovering the magic of model making, something that has not been a part of my life for nearly three decades!

I can remember the unbridled joy it used to give me as a young lad when, with pocket money in hand, I'd soon find myself of a Saturday morning eagerly scanning the rows and rows of boxes in my local model shop trying to decide which kit to take home with me for that week's enjoyment. Now I want to recapture that excitement and the pride of a kit well made.

A blast from the past. Well, in terms of video presentation! And I was just testing to see if you spotted the 'I' and 'U' in 'aluminium' being the wrong way round...

Video: Tamiya's 1/72 Mitsubishi A6M2b Zero

The eagle-eyed among you will/may have noticed the starboard aileron actuator is missing - that's because I knocked it off just as I was posing the kit for its photo session!
