First it was ship models. Little plastic things. Graduated to a 60 cm Bismarck at one point, which COULD have been fitted with remote control and all. Never gotten around to it. My favorite model was the German WWII U-Boat.
Later on I would fly remote controlled gliders and little Cessnas with 1.87cm3 two-stroke engines. We used to go to "the hill" to fly them. Sometimes I would cycle to our airstrip.
On a recent trip to Bangkok I grabbed a tank model. It was one of those for kids aged 8 - 10. Still a lot of fun as this did not require any glue or paint. All clipped together and stickers for the paint job. A very satisfying 90 minutes assembling this while having a glass of wine.
