Not sure which kit to build yet, I remember my first was an Airfix 1/72 Hurricane followed by a Beaufighter, then a lot of Matchbox kits, I will have to give this some serious thought. Super craig I’ll put your name on and a ‘tbc’ for the kit. hope the build goes through now. i’ve had my eye on a few period airfix hawks on evilbay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame there's not so many into this stuff, it's great And they both enlist for the build originally envisaged for over 18s haha 😁 Super to see that there are young modellers out there.

It has to go into the bunfight poll - so the voters decide which group builds are realised. see here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Not sure if I’m voting for this as I didnt really build as kid more just every few years find a kit or two to turn into bin fodder, but two did make it what could be called a state of completion, so if this happens I shall do them properly 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything matchbox is a winner in my book. There’s so many other great GBs in the poll i want to vote for personally also so for us all its win win Edited October 31, 2019 by Dansk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there won't be room for two of Airfix Miss Lace, or is there? It was an iconic kit and hands up anyone who didn't build one back then - or more 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved the Photographic boxing and scheme of that kit. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always loved the Photographic boxing and scheme of that kit. There is always plenty of room for more than one build of the same kit in a GB, and you are right about the old Airfix box arts they really were good and they certainly inspired me to build a few of their B-17's. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PLC1966 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I would be in for this. Certainly Matchbox, they were everywhere in Colchester. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Oh I just remembered this pic... If I can get hold of one of these kits, how could I ever find a better subject for "A kit you build as a kid GB" than one I have this solid documentation of building at my 9th birthday, yes in one single day, in 1977!? May I represent, V-P and the notorious Revell Consolisated (!) B-24D Liberator in one true 1:72 scale. Aw, just look at that smile on my face! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there can be a better reason for building a kit or a better documented one at that, a great picture VP and a Revell B-24 would be a great addition to the GB.

I'm happy that my mum at 81 years is still around, but fortunately lives on her own just 2 km away - maybe I should call her for tea when I get to building this 🙂 2 minutes ago, Dansk said: Fantastic!
