Your first Airfix Kit...?

[Scrag Meister]

This was my first one (and the first of several Mosquitos).....

Me too. :-)

Also remember a Stuka and some Meschersmitt (spelling? ).

Also did some Balsa, Tissue Paper and Dope models, get high and fly.

Mine was an American P47 (?) Mustang if I recall.

Funnily enough, I left the last gig 2 weeks ago and as part of a leaving gift, I got a limited edition Airfix type kit of a Lamborghini Gallardo. Not built it yet as I've the only glue I've got is a Pritt Stick...

I had boxes of the airfix soldiers were they 1:32 scale not the mega small ones 14 to a box like the ones in toy story but better, they did germans, british infantry, marines, and you could paint them wish i still had them

Either a Sea King helicopter or a English Electric Lightning? I had about 6 in all and every one of them was grey as I couldn't be bothered to paint them.

not sure which was the first: sopwith camel, fairey swordfish, hurricane, spitfire or 109e i would guess. iirc the biggest was hms hood followed by a handley page halifax. lovingly (if badly) made and hung up from the ceiling in flight mode... well, not the hood obviously. ah me.. i loved those things. at the moment i'm going through a similar living-in-the past thing with the kids & scalextric.

Hawker Hunter IIRC



Slightly off topic I watched a TV program recently about the WWII German aircraft... seems they pissed all over the UK planes especially the Focke Wulf 190

Quite burst my bubble

Did anyone else get rid of their built Airfix kits by the judicious use of a banger firework?

BB2 7LF

Feck me. First hit on "english electric lightning BB2 7LF" came up with the CUK thread concerned. Here's the piccie:

HMS Hood as well.

Mind you I think I ended up building all my brother's kits as well as my own.

How did I find the time for Meccano and Lego as well?

Apollo Saturn V

Sat on my windowsill for years.
