I was going to say that :-)

I'd be interested to learn what it is like in other countries like China now. As Tim said things may be different in other parts of the world, Tim's in the USA and I'm in Canada.

When I was a kid in England in the '70s pretty much all boys built Airfix, Matchbox and Frog kits. When we moved to Canada it was different, not many kids built models, and I was only 10. So maybe it's still like that in England too?
