True,it's not like it used to be for sure,but a lot of our kids are taking it up.You go to the shows and see quite a lot of father son teams walking around.Also many take up the the hobby at an older age,after they take in interest in history.There are more kit choices,more sophisticated kits,more products then ever,true they cost more,more then kids can afford,but for adults with cash for a hobby it's great,and that's when many start.When you read a lot of the intros,many are returning to or starting later.
