When did you start Modeling?

m y very first model that i was to young for was a like1/8 scale street rod,by Aurora that everything worked on and it had wiring and all kinds of stuff,but I destroyed it before compleation.Then I moved on to bird models . I was able to finish a perfect robin redbrest.I don't remember who manufactured them,does anyone out there remember the bird models?

I guess it's never to late to start. I'm 53 and started last year with a balsa model and now have moved on to plastic. I've done a P51, a Catalina PBY and I'm working on F-15E now. Still lots to learn but it's been a lot of fun and very relaxing.

My first a/c was a 1/32 P-51B by Revell I think. I painted it in aSEA scheme w/ teeth. I still have it. Man that goes back now 18yrs or so.

First plastic model for me was an Aurora Me-109. This was back in early 50's. The local five and ten cent store had a small hobby dept. , and my buddies and I bought and built every plastic airplane kit they kept in stock.

My first model was an aircraft carrier. I was so proud of myself, it only took me two hours to complete it. All the planes were painted silver. I was about 14 years old, and my Nana bought it for me to keep me quiet and out of trouble for a couple of hours. Nana passed on in 1996. My Nana left me that paint stained table that I made that kit on
