Model Kits
In 1976 when I was Nine years old I rather badly built an Airfix Kit:
I have just compiled a "box lid" list of all the other Kits I have built.
It is amazing what your friends sometimes have hidden away, this Eagle box was on the book shelf of one of my friends.

My friend says "As you will see from the attached scan the box (sadly the kit is long gone) is at least forty years old because it was marketed by the Eagle, the famous boys' comic. The empty box was sent to me recently by a very old friend for a bit of nostalgic fun because we used to make plastic kits together."
