first and last built..

Recommended Posts

My First build was the 1/72 AirFix Walrus - bought from Woolies in East Dereham. I was 5 and my Dad gave me a choice of the Series ones shelf. Think he wanted me to buy a Spitfire or Hurricane but I just loved the box art with the rescue of the downed pilot whilst his plane sank next to him, Just stuck together and painted with my Dads help. Played with for years with ever fewer bits left of it year after year and still in (whats left of it) my parents attic.

 

The next week cause I think my Dad had a blast my choice was the Cessna 0-2. This is forever known as the ‘Push Me Pull You Plane’ in my family. Same fate as the Walrus and is in the attic with it. Think these are the only two left of this buy on Saturday finish by Sunday era!

 

Latest is reliving my youth with just finished the excellent AirFix 1/48 Walrus (still need to do the pictures and post them) and as part of my Christmas treat to myself bought the Roden 1/32 0-2A - which I will start to tackle at some point this year.

 

Great thread and a great reminisce on great times spent with my Dad.

 

Cheers Taff :D
