poliphilo Just one example:
I went to Hobbycraft to buy a craft knife- and because I like miniatures and have been a modeller on and off I browsed along the shelves of plastic construction kits- Revel, Airfix- and there were a few classic cars and a luxury liner or two (including Titanic)- but everything else was military- fighter planes, tanks, battleships...
Nothing has changed since I was a kid and had a taste for modelling WWI aircraft.
And hardly anyone questions it....
