My first model is the Monogram Quarter Inch Scale (1/48th) Messerschmitt (BF) Me-109 that Gromit801 displayed above. My largest was a 1/25th scale Fokker DVII by a company I don't remember.

most of the model aircraft back then were airfix or revel,and these were the ones I bought usually,the old gluing was a big problem then,messy,not like todays fixatives..

As far as I remember, my first kit was an Airfix F-111 in 1/72. Some Matchbox kits followed - the Mirage (we read the French Mick Tanguy Comics at this time) and others, and many little tanks from Airfix and Matchbox in 1/76, and also the Coastal Defense Battery. My first effort with paint must have been the Airfix Do-17. I remember also a Buffalo and a Curtiss Hawk in Dutch East India Markings. Some day I went over to tanks in 1/35. The first ones were a Stuart and a StuG III from Tamiya. My latest projects are the Hotchkiss variants from Trumpeter, the Italeri Tiger I, a StuG IV (my fist try with Zimmerit coating), and I plan to build a Sherman M4A1 (76mm) with British or Polish markings. My greatest models are the Tamiya PBR (which is not correct insofar as the commander wears a beret in the style we use today, but the Brown Water Navy wore Vietnamese berets, French style, with the badge on the right side and not on the left) and the Italeri long-barreled M-107 - in fictitious Vietnam markings, with the inscription "Peace Talk" on the gun barrel.

My first model kit was a 25 pounder feild gun and quad but it was a disaster

My first model is an A6M2 Zero I downloaded from a website. Currently I'm working on a model of the USS Intrepid in 1:400 scale
