GB of first model you can remember building.
If can't find same kit try for one in same scale.  If not available, pick scale to your liking.

I second this one!

The “swap it around” GB. Take the shelf queen you’ve completely lost interest in and swap it on to someone else to finish. I specified “completely lost interest in" so that no one is upset when the new owner chooses to do something completely different with it. We have to keep the imagination engaged!

Does anyone have this kit? The glue unglued in my bathtub and the ship sunk!  Very poor workmanship by the 8 year old builder!  ;D

Did have one back in the day of decades ago.

I have it! It's roughly 1/350 scale.

Back in the 60s, my dad built this ship for a friend who'd been in the Merchant Marines in WWII. He modified the kit slightly and only built half of the hull, deck and superstructure and set them into a picture frame. Actually looked pretty good.

Missed by this much GB - basically model one of the losing contenders to a competition.  E.g. a F-23 instead of F-22, F-32 instead of F-35 etc.

I like this idea, there are lots of options for both a simple OOB build and some interesting kit bashes.
