The first 100 models: the golden era

Even though hobbyists do not all agree on the number (50 or 100), most consider Tamiya 100 first RC kits to be highly desirables in any collection. Prices found on auction sites for complete kit or spare parts do confirm this interest.

These are the models presented below. I own some of them even if my personal goal is not to own them all. First, I don't have room for all of them, and second (and mostly), I don't have enough money for that . I inserted links to more detailed pages of my models.
