But
which Airfix Spitfire?
I had 2 - one was the 2/- (that's 10p to digi-yoof) 1/72nd scale released in around 1955. I think it was a Mk1. It came in a poly bag - complete with the clear rectangular stand of that era. Mine was thrown together with rather more enthusiasm than skill! About 15 years later, I also built one of the 1/24 scale Spitfires Airfix released in around 1970. It was nothing like as much fun though.
Sounds like a great competition; my money is on James May's model!
Presumably these days kids would need safety glasses, work boots and mesh gauntlets and to build their models in a positively ventilated workroom? And any parent permitting a child the use of a Swann-Morton craft knife and/or Humbrol 77 polystyrene cement would probably be up in front of nuLabor's state nannies for exposing their progeny to avoidable safety hazards.....
