Re: Blast from the past model kits....
This was my first kit ever, got it in the mid-70's

One day I will build this and put it next to the original one, that I still have saved...

Heh... I remember Kmart selling car kits for $5 bucks. Aircraft, armor, & ships slightly higher depending on manufacturer. Most car kits I started off were Tom Daniel Design kits.

Now there’s a mold color I’ve never seen before - shiny maroon.
That is a cool kit! I wouldn’t mind tackling that one.

Weird. I always called this plastic a raspberry colour. Only not as tasty!BlackSheep214 wrote:Now there’s a mold color I’ve never seen before - shiny maroon.![]()

I've never built an OV-10. I'm still waiting on a new tool kit.

Kitty Hawk makes a few...
Missing Link makes some resin sets to upgrade or convert the Hawk/Testors kit.
