The plastic kits - mostly aircraft - I built in my youth from the late 1950´s to the late 1960´s never got out of my mind. They have been lost long since, but even 45 years later I´m still able to list all these kits.

My memories of early modelling are recorded in the section How it all Began of this website. Together with books and magazines form the 50´s and 60´s these kits laid the foundation of my current interest in aviation.

When I dicovered , in April 2003 I immediately looked for some examples of those kits, was successful and started to "buy back" and collect Kits I Remember. This helped a lot finding my peace of mind in reappraising my modelling past .

Searching for kits I built in the 50´s and 60´s I discovered and learned to like kits issued in this period which I do Not Remember . That expanded my original theme of collecting.

Both group of kits are listed and reviewed in the section Plastic Kits 50´s & 60´s of this website. Seen with my eyes of today, boxart plays an important role in this nostalgic look at plastic kits.

Coming in contact with the modelling world again I was tempted to expand the scope even further. Being a fanatic aircraft type collector with a long latent love to plastic kits in general, I now even buy and collect out of production plastic kits issued after 1970 as well as kits produced currently . Stress is more on the type of aircraft here and the intetnion to build the kits sometime or other. These kits are listed and reviewed in the section Plastic Kits 1970 up.
