What was your first model?

....also remembering playing for hours with Airfix' 1/32 and 1/72 (which I still have i think) plastic soldiers and Matchbox tanks etc...

Btw, didn't Monogram have a dragster schoolbus? Also, remember buying their 1/8 (?) '32 Ford Roadster for my dad as a Christmas pressie and their later '57 Chevy, only so that I could build them myself!

Yeah, it was the "S-Cool" bus, IIRC.

I dont know if any of you remember "Rommel's Rod"...but this was an early build for me. The subject just captured my young (comic book reading, Twilight Zone watching mind), "Fun-fun-fun"...

p.s. These pictures are NOT my build...I borrowed them from a web site, thanks to them!!!

Seems like all the 'weird' kits, from the 60's and 70's have disappeared nowadays, or am I wrong?

Cool!
I want one of those old Monogram "Snoopy in his Camel" or "The Red Barron in his Triplane" kits from the early 70's.
They are rare these days.
Revell must have all those old molds that we all remember, why don't we start a campain to get them to release them again?

Want to build the Li'l Coffin and Boot Hill Express again. Seen an original '64 Li'l Coffin, sealed(!) for $235.00 on ebay!

I had a "Snoopy Woodstock" in a motorcycle w/sidecar ... that kit was fun, I think it was motorized.

Wow...Holly Mackerel, I can't believe that they are getting that much for those old kits.

I know, almost choked on my coffee!

I've been looking at those goofy little kits myself. I want Groovy Grader and S'Cool Bus but am also looking at Red Baron and a few others.

The first kit I OFFICALIY built was an Airfix P-39, when I was four though, my dad built me a Typhoon, which, at the time, I didn't want painted.

i really have no idea what my first model was, but more than likely it was an Airfix...
