Let’s see your oldest surviving builds

[Radretireddad]

Here are my two oldest survivors dusted off and shined up a bit. The Revell Ford Escort XR3 was bought when new and built in my dorm room when I was in the Air Force. The Hasegawa Porsche 944 turbo with was bought and built just before my wife and I began dating. I was into sports and GT cars because I was crewing a formula Ford in the SCCA on weekends for my employer at the time. I blame the oddball color combo on the carpeting that came in the kit. These two now sit out among the rest of my current builds as a peek into my modeling roots.

Two great builds! As for the color on the Corvette, I still have my issue of Road and Track with that very color - - - it was all the rage back then

I have the same book. I got it when it first came out. It was the reason for my love for early C4 Corvettes.
