Introduction

In this section there will be reviewed plastic kits which do not fit in the Nostalgic Look at Plastic Kits of the 50´s and 60´s theme.

I ceased building kits at the end of the 60´s. All these kits have been lost. At the end of the 70´s I collected civil aircraft kits for a short period. Some post war military jets of the 50īs were among them, too. Contrary to the early "kits I remember" , these unbuilt kits are present and intact, resting savely in big packing cases for about 30 years and deserve to be presented here.

Being a fanatic aircraft type collector, I naturally expanded the scope further while collecting kits in my reappraisal of my early modelling history of the 50´s and 60´s. Getting in contact with the model kit world again tempted me to buy and collect plastic kits developed and issued after 1970 even contemporary ones as new, which do not have any connection to my modelling past.

This section lags behind the 50´s and 60´s section which in the moment has the greater priority to be fed with information.
