I love thinking back to my first model kit. It was a snap-tite F-15. I can't be 100% sure of the manufacturer but I'm going to bet it was Monogram. That was back in 1977 when I was 7 years old. My dad also pretty much built it for me but I remember he let me put the stickers (yes sticker, not decals) on. I tried so hard to do them right but I ended up putting them on backwards (stickers for the left wing ended up on the right, etc).
It was a small kit; possibly 1/72 but it could also have been some form of box scale. Does anyone else remember this kit?
