First armor model

LOL, mine was the old Tamyia Sherman tank. I wrecked it though.

Airfix 1/76 M551 Sheridan.

I don't remember exactly what it was. I was about eight and there was a model store next to a Mexican resteraunt where my family would regularly eat. I would go and look at all the model kits while we waited. I had only built aircraft with my dad until that point, but I had a few bucks in my pocket and I bought a 1/72 scale German tank, I think it was a Panther but I couldn't tell you which. I still don't know which German tank is which. But I was very pleased with the results. It was the first kit I built totally on my own. I painted it Olive Drab with a brush and applied brown camoflage with a Q-tip in almost a polka-dot pattern. I wish I still had that tank.

Mine was a Tamiya Churchill tank. Still got it too. i use it to put my spare coins in ....its all olive drap, and it was my first decent weathering attempt. Real happy with it.

Mine was an M2A2 Bradley, and it one first place at its first show, a great honor in my book.

Academy's Merkava with mine rollers. Before that, i thought all models were cars or planes.
