MikeC Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Just curious - how old's the oldest model in your stash? I wondered because I've just started mine, a 1:48 Monogram/Revell C-47 in the Berlin Airlift which I bought 17 years ago, in March 2001. So now my oldest is a 1:48 Pro-Modeller Ju 52/3m from 2008. So what's yours? Edited January 24, 2018 by MikeC phasephantomphixer and Gazzas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) I've got a Monogram 1/48 B-17 that I bought in 1989 still waiting in the wings. It might get built one day! I've also still got a Monogram 1/48 He-111 that I bought as soon as it was released....so that was 1994!

ssculptor Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have no idea. So many models have gone through my hands since plastic kits first made their appearance in the late 1940's that I have lost track. When I switched from 1/72 to 1/48 scale I sold, traded and gave away about 50 kits. When I got rid of all my 1/48 scale kits and went up to 1/32 the same thing happened. So I ended up with a bunch of 1/32 scale airplane kits and was buying vacuforms to get other aircraft. Nowadays there is a plethora of various A/C available in 1/32. There are a relatively few 1/24 scale available so I stay in 1/32. Then over the past 60 years there were about a dozen moves, two house fires and one flood which sort of cleaned out the stash. My current stash is such a mishmosh right now that I gave up thinking about it. I buy what I like and I build what I want to. phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have a Scientific Model wood kit of the Robert E. Lee that I have been hauling around since 1973/74. Perhaps one day....... Barry Uncarina and phasephantomphixer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Man Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm pretty new to modelling, but I have 2 kits that I've had for a while. One is the Revell 1/32 He 111-P, which I've had for 4-5 years. The other is a '78 Pontiac Trans Am, that I've had for 10 years or more. I intend to build both in the near future. The 111 will be soon, I'm just working my way up to it as I didn't want to start such a big project with no experience. It's one of my favorite birds, so I want it to look good. phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Nice nostalgic thread! My 'Queen' is probably a Hasegawa F6F Grumman Hellcat from 1978. However, until recently it was my 1/48 Tamiya Avro Lancaster from 1977, wich was finished just in time for 'her' 40th anniversary in 2017. Wait... there's also a Visible Monogram B-17G from around 1979 I think ;-) Kent phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwana Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have a Monogram B-24J kit that I picked up NIB at an antique store. It says 1977 on the decal sheet. They tried to cast the plastic in NMF and failed miserably. It's silver-ish swirled with metallic black. Brittle as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I have a very old 1976 issue Hasegawa 1/72(1/76?) G.M.C. CCKW-353 Dump Truck, the inside of the box smells like old paper, the sprues are still sealed in the bag with some very yellow decals. phasephantomphixer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
