Your First Sci-Fi kit?

Whoa...the earliest I can recall is the ooooold AMT Enterprise with lights...I must have been 7 years old or so. Pop had to help me out! My main recollection is the warp nacelles never staying on, and black wires sticking out from somewhere!

Funny how Star Trek is ruling this thread so far!

Don't know if ya'll consider this "science fiction," but my first of many attempts at Aurora's Godzilla predates the Enterprise Incident by a coupla years, at least.

Mine was the original Enterprise kit... wish I had it now!

Mine was the K-7, too! Now I get nostalgic when I see it on ebay. This kit was followed closely by the Vulcan Shuttle, a Colonial Viper, and the Galactica. I remember only painting a few details on each but, when you're a kid, even this small accomplishment seems huge. I played with those ships for hours at a time...

When I was 6 I built the AMT Galileo Shuttlecraft. Model came out ok. BUT I plunged the WHOLE decal sheet in water, and found myself in a little race against time[:0]
