Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou. You, sir, are an inspiration.

As a youngster during school holidays I used to churn out 4 to 5 detailed 1/72 models a week and then work on larger projects instead of doing homework during term. Most got scrapped when I left home but a 1/48 Spitfire Vc, 1/48 Mosquito and 1/72 Sunderland were still gracing the local flying club a few years later.

Unfortunately, #1 son went straight into RTF R/C models and #2 son prefers FS2003 so I'd lost the memory of the satisfaction to be gained from crafting a fine model.

This'll make Mrs Cooda very happy as she's already hinting that she doesn't want me lying about the place and getting under her feet when I eventually retire.
