Question #7e0fd

Answer 1

When I was a little boy, Airfix kits were all the rage..........

Explanation:

And typically Airfix employed a `1:72` scale for its models. And under this scale, `"6 feet"`, `"72 inches"`, was represented by a `"1 inch"` length.

See this site https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1:72_scale for details.
