Interesting to see how models were
that many years ago
It would be cool to restore it but I think this is part of history
And best left as it is for all to see
I don't think you will find many of that model around anymore
Thanks for sharing it whed us all

i agree with Jv. i always like to see the beginning in modelling 😉
Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, guys; as you can see, that was also before Micro Set/Micro sol for the decals, definitely no clearcoat before or after the decals and in spite of a multitude of house/ country relocations the build is pretty much as completed all those years ago!

Very nice.

Jv
Yes very nice and a great model keept in a good condition
That will give all generations time to think
How good was first model
And this one thay will be lucky to see

Well, JV, of course we never think about where our builds will end up - in fact, many of my early ones were "destroyed in combat" (kids will be kids!) or else they "disappeared" during the early moves, but yes, I have been able to hang on to a handful of them. I was able to replace quite a few of the aircraft from my pre-teen days by purchasing part of a collection from a deceased estate in 1990, mainly of Airfix with some Frog kits. Guess I always had a plan to get back into modelling.
