I was introduced to building plastic model aircraft by my stepdad at the early age of nine. Whenever I see a Lanchaster bomber, be it a replica, in a movie, model, or whatever, it reminds me of those days. 

Sadly, he passed away when I was eleven years old and that was the end of that.

 

Or so it seemed...
