Kits of Years Past - Sole Survivors, Part 2; Aircrafts

Post by BlackSheep214 »

The majority of them are Navy aircrafts because I have always loved the 80s style schemes. A small handful are USAF & Army. Some of the kits lost various parts as I was unpacking them to take pics. I wasn't about to fish through packing peanuts and repair them individually. :bag:

Helicopter kits: Sea Hawk, Apache, and Hughes Defender

This Hasegawa E-2 Hawkeye was enjoyable to build. One of my favorite Navy aircrafts. I'd get another one in a heartbeat!! :lashed:

Curtiss F-11C, maybe Monogram if 1/72, or Lindberg in 1/48.

Monogram kit. Thank you for clarifying the aircraft type. I knew there were several types in 1/72 scale. I do recall having fun building that little airplane kit.

Great collection and in so good condition still (aka wheels, gears etc still attached)

The 80's navy scheme looked so good!

While I was looking through the pics, I started looking at my own builds to see what I've had the longest.
1/72
Hasegawa P-51B around 30 years
Fine Molds Me410B 25 years
Hasegawa P-51D 30 years
Hasegawa Beaufighter 25 years

Most of my 48th stuff is 20 years or less

Nice aircraft man! Way to go preserving those. They look fantastic!

I haven't got anything looking that good from those years myself. Commendations on your excellent models!

Johnny, my oldest models are all about 51 years old; built when I was seven. A few made it to Vegas as part of my armor collection!
