Here's a pic of my completed '58 vintage Airfix Church, courtesy Ken, of course--just primered grey at the moment. Airfix seemed to interpret scale very freely, as both my signal box and church seem a bit too small for OO, and a bit too big for HO. (happy medium, I guess!)

That's a neat looking church there.
What other buildings were made by Airfix?

Merry Christmas to all! Speaking of churches my wish for us is that we would get to church this Christmas Season with an open mind.
