This was my first 1:18
I have some 1:64's going back to the 60's and some 1:24's going back to the late 80's but since we are mainly 1:18 here I will go with this one...

My very first 1/18 was an F40 Bburago kit, but sadly it ended its life in another kit condition :giggle Then i bought just a couple of cars, the first one being this :

But last year, when i decided to really collect cars, my first purchase was :

I'm a bit embarrased by the condition of my first 1:18 (1:16), but it is nearly 20 years old!

Poor car

And my very first: A 77 Ford Cortina 1.6GL

Very first

I bought my first mod as I really loved the 1:1, at the time I never thought I would collect . Thanks to this great place, it is growing constantly.

Edit: Forgot to add the details: UT 1:18 Ford Escort RS Cosworth T3/04B

You bring up a great point!
I always "collected" from the time I was very young.
By collecting I mean that I always wanted more cars for my birthday and Christmas.
When I was a grown man I would still hit the toy department and buy if I liked something.
I am not quite sure when I made the jump to "Model buying maniac" :confused
it just sort of happened and before I knew it I had way to many cars and not enough money for all the new ones I wanted :giggle

well, I have no pictures, as I am here @ school....and all the models are about 200miles away.....:blahblah

anyways, my first model was a '57 T-bird.....it was, and still is one of the fav's :cool

the first one I bought......a '55 Chevy pickup. I remember dropping $50 on it and thinking it was such a big deal!

I stick solely with the 1/18's.

 

[StygianMax]

My first diecast is the same as RR72's! :happy click to see Mike's Bburago Viper

Here is my first 1:18th, a Bburrago 300SL gullwing a good friend gave me for my 21st in 1992:

But it didn't start my collecting habit! That followed after I got this Maisto McLaren from my girlfriend (now wife!) for Xmas 1996!:

I had some BBuragos before but I don't remember which was the first one. It was only toys for me on these days...I remember crashing my BBurago F40 Evoluzione on my Maisto Jag XJ220... Damn, I really was a bad boy !!

I traded my first 1-18 scale Guiloy Aston DB7 Green&yellow #7 for what was my 4th a 1-16 Bburago Alpine Renault A110 in Monte carlo colours. My second 1-18 was this Maisto Chrysler PT Concept Cruiser:

If I recall correctly, I think this was it, about 4 years ago from my wife. (If not, it was certainly one of the first!)
