i had some help.  Not much paint on them.  Yea , i had to do like you and buy all the rest on eBay! Wish I had all that money!!!!

Those are really good for 11. I've been checking out all your stuff. It's great. A real trip down memory lane. All of them excellent and very clean builds.

I still have my Thames panel from when I was a kid, but it been through a few versions. The rest of the missing childhood kits got replaced from e-bay like you and John. Although now, with the amount of reissues, I am waiting on some of the more pricey ones.

Here's my Anglia from that same era, I was probably in my early teens. And here's how far I got.  Notice all the runs in the candy gold, as well as the goobs in the black top.  Somehow this survived. I found the box on a garage shelf when I was cleaning out my parents house.

I also had a Thames Panel, I don't think I finished that one either.  As a kid those Revell kits weren't all that friendly!

These were beautifully done for an 11 yr old kid..!!!!  The patina they have now is absolutely wonderful and held up really well.

Wish I could've done that well at 11! I still have my built cars from that age packed away somewhere and they are no where near that good.
