Found this old picture in a photo album this morning. Probably 1985. My parents kitchen table

Exactly how a kitchen table should look like!
Re: Another blast from the past
The Phantom was clearly a favorite!
Nice to see old builds, especially pics taken with good ol’ (?) analogue cameras!

Yes the Phantom has always been one of my favorites

Very cool! I wish I had taken pics of the kits I did as a teenager.

Wow. This is such a cool display. I count 19 aircraft total. Thank you for posting another "blast."

Re: Another blast from the past
Bruce, I remember at one point having at least 80 hanging from the bedroom ceiling or on the book shelves in my room. Oh to have some of those back.
When I was 13 we went to England to see my grandparents. Spent a month there. Every penny of my spending money was used to buy kits. Dad had to buy an extra suitcase to get them all home.

That is an awesome display. I have a few pics like that buried somewhere in my house. I have almost all my models from when I was a kid anyway.
Keep posting them as you find them!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Incredible... and is the way to have them back building them again.
