Biggest aircraft you tried to build as a kid?

Mine was this...

or here is the box...

I found a BF109 the same day in the same scale ! 1/24, and 10 bucks each! Of course this was around 77 or so. I tried to build them both at once, but ran into a major problem- my desk was too small! lol

So i tried building them on the floor, that failed and the dinning room table was off limits to models (mostly paint and glue)

Both ended up in a metal trunk that i found a decade later after my father passed, he and mom had divorced years earlier and we focused on his 10 tons of stuff so my treasure chest was tossed!

I wasnt worried then, nor now. Just thought about this while surfing- thought i would post... CR

B-36 and B-52 took over the ceiling even though they were 72nd scale. I also still have the Airfix 24th scale Fw-190.

When I was a kid??

Well I don't think I ever finished the B36, that was when I was in the USAF.

this was this summer.

Think I got ya beat.

Braggart! lol I did build the 1/48 B-17 but that Stuka was just much more massive.

now that's is funny - I got the Airfix Stuka in 1/24 for xmas when I was 13 and yep I did it ...

Biggest I completed would either be a 1/48 B-17 or a B-24. I guess the B-17 would be the larger of the 2. The largest I attempted, but never completed would have been the 1/48 B-1.

How far did you get Adam? The thing is a P*I*G Pig of a kit.

As a kid I think the largest I did was the Airfix B-29.

I cant remember actually. I think I got the forward fuselage w/ the cockpit together, but I think that the main fuselage was warped so badly that I couldnt get it together.

Lets see, It would be a toss between the Airfix 1/24 Mustang and the Airfix 1/72 C-130 Hercules with the bloodhound missile included.

1/72 scale B-36 and I completed it. It's still hanging on my ceiling.
