#Airfix series 3 #Boston, issued 1963 (kit #385). Bought in the fall of '67 and my first ever #modelkit but a bit too much for a 9 year old. My mother put in on the top shelf of the hallway locker and told me to wait for my father, Merchant Marine engineer, to come on leave. #HistScaleModels

Browsing through a shoebox archive, I came upon this b&w photo of an #Airfix #series1 #Spitfire from 1969. Very unsharp but then again, fixed focus Minolta mini pocket format camera. Next, in a bout of #nostalgia, I obtained the kit. #HistScaleModels

#OTD in 1944 my uncle Harm perished when #HellShip #Hofuku_Maru was torpedoed and sank off the Philippines by planes of US TF38. Of the 1289 #FEPOW on board, 242 survived this #disaster.

I built my #Airfix 'Saint Louis (1626)' in the fall of 1977 and, besides collecting dust, it survived over the years. Now finally placed in a home-built display case #HistScaleModels.
