Hell, I remember 1964 /65 as being the time I discovered Airfix 72nd scale aircraft, but didn't even see my kit listed the venerable B-17G "Liliput Lil" also remember a ME 262 as it was the first I ever heard of the plane (I was 10)

Oh boy is that a blast from the past. The first one I can remember building is the 75mm assault gun. I still have a soft spot in my heart for that kind of vehicle. Looking over that list is like looking through a high school year book. So many old friends that aren't around any more.

Mine would be the F-111A Aardvark. If they brought out a model then it would have already been in service. And it still is!!! My first model was the Me 262. Glued together and put the decals on without any paint. ( Well I was 8 at the time, no paint in the box, how was I to know ) Mind you, that started off my education about the war, as I proudly showed the model to my parents pointing at what I thought were nice details, they explained to me what the swastikas were about.

Makes two of us! I always believed I was one of the more 'senior' (age range, that is) model builders on the site. Well at least now I have the ‘time’ to improve my skills!

I suprised that no one was born the year of the release of the Blue Tit.....
Had that kit, made into a lovely conversation piece.

The meat van, sounds cool to.

Me too Dave by a few years. It must be a Dave thing..

The mark 1 spitfire in a plastic bag from woolworth cost one and six if I remember correctly. :-

how about the HO-OO scale plastic tanks that were made of the same stuff as the soldiers (polythene i think). o.k. its 1974, my dad is taking me to not the locol hobby store ,but either woolworths, or a shop called buyrite that sold decorating supplies on one side and airfiix kits (every release) plus just about the entire dinky range on the other side, talk about an alladins cave! so, what is little phil bugging his old man for? spitfire mk1 blister pack, halifax bomber,fairy rotodyne, 8th army, africa korps all the bases (pontoon bridge,coastal defence, and the gun emplacement) and the one that i remember most the Me 110-d, at this stage i'm also hassling dad to buy me a dinky spitire with a moterised prop!

NEWS JUST IN! a group of airfix soldiers have just been discovered who were unaware that the bedroom floor war ended in 1979

errrrrrmm.......how does this look? i just found a bag of oddments see more amazing pics of this epic battle in my gallery!

Infact some Airfix Japanese infantry holed up behind the skirting board are still refusing to surrender unless ordered to do so by the Emperor himself.

Oh wow...I'm a Harrier GR5

"lol"
