I built my first model kit in _________, and it was a ____________.

[meechum68]

First kit was a 1:48 scale P-61 Black Widow, which is why I have a soft spot and several in my stash, I was 8-9 years old then. 

It started my love for models.

Must have been in 1969 (in Nov. 1968 we moved from a village in the Tyrolean Alps to a small town south of Vienna, which had two toy/hobby shops!) - my new schoolmates brought me to styrene models, mainly Airfix plastic bag kits: 1/72 WW2 planes, sailing ships and 1/32 car kits which I can remember some - glued together with tube glue, partially painted with Humbrol enamels, and bought another one when pocket money allowed it (NO stash back then!).

I found some pics on the internet:

This is where it started....
