I ceased building kits
at the end of the 60´s. All these kits have been lost. At the
end of the 70´s / begnning of the 80's I collected kits of civil
prop aircraft and post war military jets of the 50´s. Contrary to the
early 50's and 60's "kits I remember"
, these unbuilt
kits are present and intact, resting savely in big packing cases
for about 30 years and wait 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. |

Stress was on
favorite types of aircraft, with the ultimate goal to
build them and not to collect them for nostalgia and historical
interest as with pre 1970's kits.
That held when I created this subpage in 2005. In the
meantime I'm so absorbed with the 50's and 60's kits,
especially with rather unknown brands, that this 1970's up
section lags very much behind and will updated only
occasionally. I have stopped to buy new and used "1970 up
to now"
kits for years. |
