What was your FIRST model kit?
My first model kit was a stingray concept car, It was purple, I don't know what the heck happened to it, BUT my brother has HIS first model car, it's right here on his shelf, the body hand-painted and all, the thing is so heavy, all crazy glue and testors brush paint...

My first ever kit was a Bulldog or something fighter plane from WW2, i was like 8, my dad helped me build it, was unpainted...
My first car kit was a Burago snapkit 1938 Citroen 15cv TA when I was about 10... Built aircraft until very recently when I completed a Revell BMW NAZCA M12 (I never heard of it either til I built it)...Came together okay, some ill fitting parts, still consider myself a bit of a beginner with cars so I didn't work on making the parts fit right...painted it without primer :P....after that I built my Skyline...now I'm working on an Evo6... So yeah...many planes...few cars...although that will change

Where in Lower Hutt are you????? I'm origionally from Eastbourne  As for my first kit- my NSX- which is somewhere on AF......And I have just finished my second kit a TS-8 Milano Red Honda Jazz which is done exactly the same as my step-sisters new Jazz.- It's a beauty And I did do an R32 GTR in between the NSX and Jazz- but I used Revell glue that really fucked it up ending in me breaking the engine in frustration- and now I have to find a new kit Next project is a 1969 Mini Cooper 1275 S from Tamiya |

A Revell Viper GTS, I smashed it up eventually i was going to rebuild it but i lost half the parts moving to a new house so I just salvaged the motor and wheels. Had the motor in a Impala for a bit then chopped the impala to get ideas for a lowrider project.

Mine was some sort of Saturn 5 rocket..It was pretty good, actaually.
My first car, however, was a Tamiya BMW Z3 Roadster. I handpainted the body (I really like that color..Wish I had an airbrush.), didn't know about the wonders of spray paint then. I tried not to paint all the parts I could, so most of my suspension and interior is a satin black, the color it was molded in.

My first ever scale model was a Douglas DC-3 from the USAF.
I’ve built it when I was 8 years old, I guess. That means …… hummmmmm …… 23 years ago …

I swear the first kit I ever got was like a chevy s-10 model..or was it a viper... I would usually get them for christmas, and I remember trying to build the viper with regular school glue, then I broke a part in half and decided to throw away the kit because I thought it wouldn't work. ARGH!

My first was a Tamiya 300ZX. I originally sprayed it yellow but really screwed the body up trying to do the black rubber moldings (by hand with a large brush
 )So I stripped it..and repainted it clear blue over chrome.  I feel like we're talking about girlfriends, or first-time sex experiences. :hehe: |
