Just heard about this today and watched it on the SBS website www.sbs.com.au (Australian) so not sure if overseas members can view it, but the show is available via other means (hint hint)...

Direct link - http://player.sbs.com.au/programs#/programs_08/fullepisodes/latestepisodes/playlist/James-May-s-Toy-Stories-Ep1-Airfix-/

Absolutely awesome episode on Airfix and getting school kids involved in building a 1:1 (Yes 1:1) Airfix Spitfire model kit... :blink



James May's Toy Stories (Ep 1)

JAMES MAY'S TOY STORIES: AIRFIX
About this broadcast Channel: Free to Air / SBS One

(Part 1 of 6) James May is out to prove why traditional, old fashioned toys are still relevant today when he pushes them to the limit in spectacular, supersize challenges. From full-size Lego houses to bridges made completely of Meccano, he shows what they are capable of. In this first episode, James takes his model aeroplanes to a new level when he tries to make a full-size Spitfire out of Airfix. (From the UK in English) (*New Documentary Series*)
