Airfix "Golden Hind" in about 1972 .... 1:600 I think. I've just Googled it, it was Airfix's first commercial plastic kit, first released in 1952. Blimey! A classic!

In Oz at the time IIRC most of the easily available kits were Airfix, and the standard line up of 1:72 kits were done - Spitfire, Hurricane, Blenheim, etc.

Went through a brief WWII AFV vehicle phase when I discovered Tamiya kits (including a beautiful 1:35 Panther which met a pyrotechnic end), then back to aircraft in my teens. My pride and joys were a 1:48 F-105D from Monogram, and a 1:32 F-104G from Hasegawa.

Happy days ....
