Brilliant! I gave youngest Grandson the Airfix Coldstream Guardsman for Christmas. I also bought myself a bundle of Historex kits - vowing to finish a British Light Dragoon I started more than 30 years ago.

Next up is finishing these two. They’ve been on the to-be-finished shelf for too long. I love WW2 fast boats 😊 #HistScaleModels
