My first was a 1/18 Command Car. My son gave it to me as a BDay present. I was awed and looked into who made it and how many other toys in that scale was around. That was my start.....
He bought it because I had a 1/1 when he was born and he learned to drive in it when his legs could reach the pedals.
When my Grandson was born, he got a........ wait for it........ a 1/18 Command Car, from me.

S1 109 at TRU I think in 2000, 29.99. At the time passed on the Mustang coz I was only in to German planes, then they started making more ie Stuka, Corsair, P-38 and was hopelessly hooked after that.

P-47 Bubbletop Eileen. That was less than four months ago. I shudder to consider the number I've got since then.

UH-1C Huey Hog, at the Lafayette, La TrU. I went to get the 109, but it was gone.
I'm glad now that it was.
