Smile What kits do you have fond memeories of?

I made this a years ago, and kinda miss it now! It still exists, but in the loft in peices! Not a good enough standard to rebuild it!
Someday I would like to make it again!
Do you guys have the same feelings for other kits you once made?

This R32. The car itself was my first model but not this Tamiya one. My first one was Fujimi and really badly build. That time I snap the kit together, using marker to draw window frame and didn't use any other paints. I even stupid to wet the whole decal sheet at once! :hehe:
And rebuilding made me found I was level up :hehehe:

I used to do that! They would all float to the top of the water and you had to pick them out and uncurl them! Plonker!

Oh beautiful! I had to put it in my schedule!

That is gorgeous! Never seen it before in 1/24th! Where do you get them from?
I have it in 1/43rd, and also have the right paint codes for those superb colours!

The detail is better then the Tamiya one !!!! Inside is very good detail.
Only thing wrong is the engine is to small looking compared to the Tamiya Opels.
Decals are good, but thick and take a lot of work to get them to sit down correctly.
I guess you want one !!!

Here is another one I liked!
I did it in white, and it wasn't very shiny as I hadn't learnt about polishing the body with compounds yet, but it looked great non the less!
Doesn't exist now, but I still have the wing somewhere as I want to use on my 25th Anniversary Countach!
