Errr... it is 2017 now
In plastic modelling terms I look on the mid 1990s as the start of the "modern age" because it was at that time that the things we attribute to "modern mouldings", such as engraved panel lines, good fit, use of CAD etc began to become the norm in mainstream manufacturing. It was also the era where the "short run" manufacturers began to produce kits that were not far off what the mainstream guys could do.
So, to me, the mid 1990s is not that long ago from a modelling perspective.
