Yep, looks like plastic airplane parts to me too. And just think, almost all of the 787 Dreamliner is made with it.

I remember assembling plastic airplane models when I was a kid, damn that glue smelled good. Testors I think it was. LOL

Thanks for the memories. It was Testors model glue, in a red and white tube.

I built so many models, I'm surprised I'm not brain damaged.

I never thought to sniff the glue, but it did have a great aroma.And boy did it melt plastic--it was like welding for kids!

The models were made by Aurora, Revell,Monogram and Lindberg.

Reading and looking at the pictured boxes was as cool as making the models.

Of course, it you weren't like a professional model painter, very rarely did the model look like the box.

From 49 cents to $ 2.98 you could buy yourself a lot of fun.
