I think someone else posted a link to one of Maxmodels kit maker bios, but I thought I'd post a reference to them all as he has now done quite a few; recently Airfix. If like me you find the history of the hobby fascinating this is any excellent dive into popular and many forgotten brands from all over the world.

There are some obvious to us errors, but the guy reads the comments and often posts follow up vids with corrections.

I like them, lots to go through.
The FROG video reminded me that I have:
-- 2 of the interceptors, damaged, to try and put into one flyable,
-- the Ventura test shot kit to finish,
-- the Shell tanker to finish.

I follow his series too, it may have been me who put the link up before. This is well worth watching. I have put a few comments on his channel and mentioned the forum a few times. Max has looked in on the forum too.
