First placcy model
Back off thread - Plastic was for poofs - Balsa model kits by Keil Kraft were far more exciting than plastic. Beautiful box of balsa bits and wire, tissue wheels etc etc. Took weeks to make and moments to crash!!
Mine was a Keil Kraft Caprice - Huge glider - launched it on Epsom Downs - had to chase it -it flew so bloody well - Amazing performance. Kits go on ebay for nearly £40 these days.
I also built several other models form Keil Kraft and a powered free flight model "Wasp Wings" by Performance Kits, WONDERFUL!

Early 70.s....Airfix "Dogfight Doubles"...Spitfire and an ME110. I seem to remember I had a Stuka that ended up with so much paint on it (desert colours to jungle and back again) that when it encounted heavy flak ( a match) over France (my back yard).......it burst into flames. Pilot failed to leave flaming aircraft...........
Ahhhhh happy memories and the only time I have ever come into contact with duck egg blue paint!
