My first model (plastic kit) was an Airfix 1/72 155mm Self Propelled Gun. I made a good effort of it too. No paint involved but pretty well assembled and glued together.
The second model I made was a 1/72 Airfix Bristol Bulldog. A part of the tail was missing and I made it up from a piece of plasticard and scored the shape of the airelons on using a scriber. It hung in pride of place from my ceiling for many years gathering lots of dust.
Good stuff...I still have an interest in Artillery and Bristol Bulldogs ever since
