Your very first scale model aircraft

Just found these pictures.

The only pics I have of my first model aircraft. Its the old Revell 1/72 Lancaster. I remember painting it with Rustolium Olive green spary paint and adding the brown and black by hand and I think the canopy frames were done with a Sharpie. (Made by 11 year old me…)




It met its end via some anti aircraft fire while hanging from my ceiling.

When I found the Lancaster pics I also found this which was my 3-4 model airplanes I made. Its supposed to be a diorama of a German airfield around 1944. I used a mouth light for the light in the hanger. At the time I was really proud of it.






Both of these are gone and I have no idea what happened to them.
