Greetings fellow plastic model airplane enthusiasts! I have started this blog in order to obtain and circulate information about vintage Japanese-made plastic model aircraft kits from the 1960's. As an Air Force Brat living in Japan in the mid-sixties I started building plastic model aircraft kits. Many of the kits I built that were favorites of mine were made by Japanese companies such as Fujimi Mokei, Nitto, Nichimo, Hasegawa, and Sanwa. I loved the dynamic box art and the unusual features on many of these kits (some could take a battery-powered motor to make the propellers turn). If there are any Brats out there in Internetland maybe you would like to take a trip down memory lane and share what you know about some of these kits you may have enjoyed building (and torching?). Perhaps you could even send pictures of kit boxes and built-up kits if you still have them. Be seeing you!
