They all flew to the Eternal Airfields Burkhard. Didn't took them with me when I left the parental home and a couple of years ago I decided to... scrap them, covered by 15-20 years of dust (and they were not that nice anyway as I used most of them as toys) All I have are the models I've build since I've picked up the hobby again a couple of years ago. So if you want to see my old models just wait 15-20 years 😉

Btw, very nice models considering their age and being brush painted!

Another two dusted off, lots of bits missing (have them in a box somewhere...) and decals yellowed, but still in pretty good shape after 20-25 years 'open' storage 🙂

Album info

These are my oldest completed kits that survived a few moves and breaks in the hobby. Built in the early 80s, out-of-the-box, no airbrush, no PE, no AMS yet 🙂
I took them as found in the basement, some parts missing, yet to be cleaned. I plan to refurbish them some day.
