replicant Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hello mates, this are the surviving parts of my very first built model. I made it 1965 at the age of 5 years. This "seveneleven" from 1956 has raised outlines of typo and markings. Because Revell started without decals first. Later i made some yellow paint tests on the fin (who else). Therefore they survived (i believe). It rested in a Grabbelkiste for decades (i know). Now my first model has a very good place in my house behind glass. And has there the OK of my wife. Resting in Peace s... Cheers, Tom 30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 What I like about your model is it is bit like real fossils, quite a few extinct species are based on fairly limited remains. A good idea to preserve your early work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeedyGonzales Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I lost my first kits by a chain of stupid accidents, so I know perfectly well what these parts would mean to you... If I had one single part of my first build some 40 years ago, it would now be more important and valuable to me than any other kit I have built the next 40 years. Very nice idea, enjoy and take good care of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vulcanfan Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Great idea and beautifully presented. I am reminded of crash sites I have visited on the hills where you can find pieces of aircraft which have lain there for 60 years or more. Regards, Vulcanfan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
