How it All Began -
Addendum
All the kits quoted ahead were kept in my memory and could be
quoted immediately when I started the nostalgic look
at my modelling past in 2003.
Nontheless during my collecting and research
activities a few other kits emerged in my
memory which I
forgot in my first recollection of memories.
Dealing with the German battleship Graf Spee from
Progesswerk Nuernberg, which I aquired in the end of 2012 I
came upon a Graf Spee
kit from Eagle. Now I remembered that I had some small scale
Eagle ships, too. I do not remember which individual kit. The
Graf Spee depicted below serves as an example only.
Having cleaned up my parents house in 2013 after the dead of my
mother we found a batch of built-up historic cars from Airfix.
That immediately reminded me that I was also involved in
building and painting such cars, though I cannot determine if
the specific cars we found were from my younger brothers or fom
myself. |

How
Doing research on early Revell kits raised the question if there
was a connection between Gowland and Airfix historical ships. I
remembered I must have had some small scale historical ships
from Airfix,/Plasty too.
In mid 2014 I came upon a nice picture of he Douglas Skywarrior
in the 1962 Observer's book of aircraft and immediately
remembered that I must have had this kit from Revell, too ( see
Revell Kits I Remember ).
More to come ?
