Re: Kits of Years Past - Sole Survivors, Part 1
I wish I had some of the kits I built as a kid too.... well maybe not. I hardly ever painted them and most were played with. I don't really think I ever built a model 'properly' until I got back into it in 2010. Funny enough though I used pretty much what I use now - Humbrol Tube glue, Humbrol Enamels and Citadel acrylics - all used in my last build

Hey, I still have almost all mine from my childhood and yeah; most weren't painted either. Some had some details painted, some were just decaled over bare plastic.

Re: Kits of Years Past - Sole Survivors, Part 1
Remember that Apollo - Soyez bottle kit of mine? Well I found out in another forum that it's not made by Revell - but Addar. Here are a couple box art shots a forum member who verified it for me:
The side box art images wished I had the WW1 Dogfight kit too! Seeing the Planet of the Apes ones re-ignited my memory that I've done a couple of Planet of the Apes snap kit figures in my youth years - Dr. Zaius and General Ursus. I do vaguely remember having Dr. Zira snap kit but I'm not 100% sure.

Neat box.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Nice price too! $5 sticker tag is a "steal"......
