ah100m Posted December 2, 2021 Share #10 Posted December 2, 2021 Barry- Funny you should say that you even built models while you were in Vietnam. I was in the hospital in Tan Son Nhut and they distributed model kits for us to build to pass the time. I got a large scale (I think 1/32) Aurora Huey Cobra gunship. To be frank I don't actually remember building it. I too started building models early, inspired by my father. I seem to remember building an F-80 together and then I was off and running on my own as he died when I was twelve. Cars (AMT customizing kits), aircraft, finished my first of two USS Constitutions when I was about 19. Started doing armor and large scale planes and cars a few years ago, just finished another Revell Connie (Just used the hull - the rest is scratch built) and embarking upon my first wood kit.
