Do you remember the first plastic model you assembled?
I do. Another thread here got me thinking about it. I was 5 or 6 and it was a model of a 1920s era Standard mail plane. It had about a 10 inch wingspan and was molded in maroon plastic. I was too young and/or dumb to read the instructions. My uncle came by when I was trying to glue the decals on. He taught me how to use water transfer decals. My parents were either too ignorant or disinterested to bother showing me.
From there it was models of fighter jets and bombers for a few years.
Then - CARS!
The first car I did was a black 1940 Ford sedan.
Strange that half the time I can’t remember where I left my shoes, but I vividly remember from 60 years ago how those models looked and how they felt and how they smelled.
