Likewise many thanks for that link dennis555, brought back many memories.

Something those box lids and header cards you could almost feel yourself behind the controls.

Used to love the old tubes of Airfix glue, cut the top off and then find a pin to stop it running everywhere and hopefully next time you wanted to use the glue it hadn't dried up. Anyone remember that lemon scented glue that became available in the mid 70's, to be family friendly to the other people living in the household.

We bought a young friend a model kit for Christmas several years back, but his mother told us that she didn't approve of her 10 year old son, using dangerous things such as glue, paint or a knife so they hid it from the kid!
