I had a motto when I was not yet working on the full size things

:

"It is not important what you have...It is important what you do from what you have!"

I chain this first with any Revell kit that I have ever built, because what you get is far away from what it should look at the end. Twisted pieces, grates all around.... you know what I mean.

They must have had beautiful kits in the sixties and seventies, but when I was a kid building them it seemed like they just brought out new kits using the old moulds whithout cleaning them even up.

Well, my worst biplane model ever built was a polish model kit of a Breguet 14.

The kit I liked most was this Dragon 1/48 Fokker Triplane!

Bye!
