I remember that have one or two old models....and here they are! Mmmm...When I built them I was about fourteen, and now I’m forty one... As you can see they are at 1/72 scale, built with the most stunning and amazing accurate skills.

Ok! Let’s go!! "Disassembling Pink Panther”

Painted with brush and enamels (humbrol), plastic putty...? why!! It looks ok, it's only a little .....bunker

The “weathering” was made with...alert!! I took a match and I use of the smoke!!!! Of course then happen things like this!!!

They look better than my stuff now

Great stuff, love the match and flame weathering, damage technique.

I once found an all black 1/72 ME 109, made when I was around 12 years or so...it was just glue and black paint lol.

No joke that is better than I was building at 14 , and I'm not much better now and I'm 47

They don't look too bad, the smoke effect from the matches was good initiative if not a little dodgy Still have my first builds somewhere, a Revell Macchi Saetta I built with Dad when I was about 7 and a Hurricane I built by myself about the same time. Have to see if I can dig them out.
