Retro Kit GB (aka the 'Make the box frothers cry GB')

[puddingwrestler]

How about this - build anything you want, but it needs to be a kit of great and startling antiquity. Or a re-issue of a kit of great and startling antiquity. I'm talking buildin' up old 1960s Famous Fighters, or even those 1940s solid wood kits. That kinda thing.
I was going to call it the 'Build something older than you' GB, but then a lot of you chaps were kids at the time. 'Build something from your childhood' doesn't seem fair really, mine was mostly in the 90s so I'd get much better engineering on my kits

Sorry PW but Frog Penguin kits are just too expensive to get nowadays

There are NO kits that are older than me!

But I do have a fair pile of stuff that came from the 50s and 60s still, the Lindberg XF-91 Thunderceptor for example. Mind you it's 1/48 scale so it'll probably appear in a 'stash reduction near you' before much longer!

ive got a 70's era revell box of the 1/72 F-102 (without decals) in the stash witch is screaming for attention.
would make for a nice RAF or SAAF bird

lol...a lot of airfixs range are pre1970s!...................i picked up a revel p39 the other day..........found out the moulds are from the 60's!...must be plenty of others like that which are still available

My two "current" builds are the Airfix SB2C Helldiver and the Revell A-1E, 1968 and 1967 respectively. I was born in '85.

I've got the Revell re-issue of the box-scale B-47 (the one with moulded-on stars and bars... ) which is destined to get a 1/72nd IL-28 nose and box-scale Skywarrior engines grafted onto it.....

So was I! I've got an old Airfix Beagle Bassett in the stash (late 60s).

'85?

Strewth, I was 43 then........ 

[Martin H]

43?  I was 14 lol

[Mossie]

Hmmm, might give me the kick up the backside I need to do the Revell Boeing SST or Airfix Rotodyne.

[The Wooksta!]

Rather than limit it by age of the builder, just define a year as a cut off.  Say 1965.  Anything after that is too modern a tool to count.

[proditor]

Might tempt me to finally finish the Cheyenne update I had planned.

[Doc Yo]

 Pretty sure I've got something unbuilt in the stash that would qualify...

Hmm!, my PAK-20 book says the first plastic models began appearing in the mid-30's ------
