Back on April 11, 1993, I bought this kit from a local hobby shop. A couple of weeks later, after gluing together the wings and fuselage, I put the bits and pieces back in the box to attend to the birth of my first child, thinking 'Oh, I'll get back to it in a week or so...". And there it sat, in the closet, through the birth of my son 4 years later, schooling, work, etc.
Well, 25 years later, my now-grown daughter and son gave me the Revell 1/48 Fine Molds X-Wing for my birthday. Since that's a pretty expensive and complicated kit, I decided to revive my rusty kit building skills by hauling the 767 out of the hangar and finish it first.
The result is not bad, even the ancient decals mostly cooperated, except the one that formed the stripe along the right front of the fuselage from the emergency exit to the nose - it got a little mangled, and I had to paint in a few bits:
