stevej60 Posted February 11, 2023 Share Posted February 11, 2023 Hi folk's.Hasegawa Mirage F1 from the eighties. Tamiya 1/48 Raiden from 1973 would you believe. Tamiya Panther which as Enzo has stated 1968 which has really shocked me as it's still a cracking kit. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bianfuxia Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Some great stuff in here already - I love that Testarossa! I had that kit when it came out.
