I used to make them too! Cut them carefully from the sprues and clean off the flash. Do my up most best to get the glue right and paint them properly with no brush marks. Carefully apply the decals and then admire them. Then when it was a nice day I would take them outside and shoot them to pieces with my air rifle. Awww those were the days!

I think the crisis came around the age of twelve/thirteen. The girl next door was becoming more interesting than airplane glue. My eldest brother came home on leave with some thunderflashes and a warped sense of humour.
I came home from school to find him and my other brothers "re-enacting" the BoB by running the clothes line from my bedroom window and with the aid of bent coat hangers and the contents of a few thunderflashes my airforce were flaming down the garden. Bastards! Lol.
