Let's See Some Survivors!

Linking to photos hosted on Google is an exercise in futility.  The images still show up as a (gray)  European stype "do not enter" traffic sign (typical when Google refuses to show the photo).

Since this thread was brought back from the dead, I read the initial post.  "Models from before 1981"?!  LOL!  Some members here weren't even born at that time!  How can they have models build (by them) before 1981?  I propose the criteria should be changed to just post photos of models from someone's  early days of modeling.

You don’t have to be an ancient fart to own or appreciate old survivor models from the heyday of modeling.  I’m 62 and I own many models that were built way before I was able to hold a knife, because I’ve served them out as collectibles as the folk art of our youth!

The pink one was built by me a long time ago but the other two date back to the original release of the kit using the provided custom parts. Both needed a lot of restoration but deserved it!

Original 1962ish Monogram Model A. Some kid did the chop, I thought it deserved to be finished..
