I really can't remember my first kit, I do fondly remember a Revell Penny Pincher 1/25 Scale VW BUG that was given to me as a gift for my 9th birthday. Funny how after getting back into the hobby I decide to do a VW Rat Rod.

Mine was a Model T Ford when I was 5.  I think it was by Lindberg, but I'm not sure.  I do remember that it was a relatively simple kit, with metal axles so the wheels rotated.

the first kit i built with a little help, mostly buy myself, was a 1/24th or 1/25th scale Corvette C5-R didnt turn out too well, paint job sucked..... assembly was half way done.... spoiler was on backwards... just a mess!

second build was a 1968 Corvette stingray, horrible paint job...

3rd was what Road Ace used to be... after that i stopped then built the very first Ace Of Spades P-51D Mustang.

Missed the poll.
So...i'm trying to remember correctly... definitely starwars, and it was either an AT-AT or an imperial star destroyer
