                From an engineering point of view, the Airfix Starter set Spit 1A I built, in three days, for a sales promo. Talk about shake'n'bake!

                        So many amazing models from very talented and skillful builders...god this site is good.

                        My fave builds...hmmm. Many have gone to other homes, including ones shown but, I did enjoyed doing these very much and as for the best...there isn't one. Some turned out slightly better than others but all, had challengers.

                              Hi Lee, the tractor is a Airfix 1/12 Shaun the Sheep from Wallace and Grommet. Very hard to get now. I think it is supposed to be based on a Ford 3000 range.
