Hello mates,
this are the surviving parts of my very first built model. I made it 1965 at the age of 5 years. Later i made some yellow paint tests. There for they survived (i believe). It rested in a Grabbelkiste for decades. Now my first model has a very good place in my house behind glass.

That is truly awesome 👍

Tom
Thank you two!! That you like my "Fossils of Palaeoreplicantology" 🙂

Alexander Grivonev
Hah, i used to have three full boxes of "fossils" from my youth sin years until i decided to restore them to their "almost" previous glory. Felt truly like a paleontologist putting excavated dinosaur skeletons back together 😄

Tom
That old? You are looking so fresh on the bike 🙂 i am feeling like a dinosaur too meanwhile... these are 2 pieces of a 55 year old model build, my oldest restored and complete is from 1968, the Lightning is here...

Alexander Grivonev

Cool idea! I wish my first attempts survived. The oldest I have is from my late teens. I do still have the memories 👍

Francky
I am so lucky that I still have all of them up to my very first zero, Bf 109, spitfire and hurricane in 1/72. 🙂 They all just survived on my parents attic until I re-discovered my glue addiction 🙂

Tom
