I get it. You hate Spits, so in order to stop people buying the kits and displaying them all over the place, you've collared the World's production. A very cunning plan!

I can't understand you guys. I know those kits are not cheap, but most of you guys have more kits that you can build
during your lifetime. You have a lot of money sitting in a closet, or a spare room. Why do you do it ??

Somebody 'splain it to me ??

Hi Charles!!

I have about 13 kits currently. I bought these on Ebay and other places just because they were very very good deals. I have some kits that are 20 dollars (The Do-217 and Do-17Z.) When I find a good bargain, my dad agrees as long as I have the money to let me buy it. For the other guys, they may have been collected over the years when kits were really really cheap maybe?

I do it only when I see a good deal and if its worth it. If not forget it! Over ten dollars on ebay and I won't buy it.

I have no rational explanation. This lot wil keep me busy for a couple of years. I have an Aeroteam Spit 21 inbound, as well as a Supermarine S.6B, and that's me done.

Not really, I wish I was that sensible, over the last few months I've just hoovered up 1/72 Spits like the world was about to end, loads of decals too.

You're going the right way about it.

Well you dont buy them at all one time. Given what things like drinking can cost its quite inexpensive when spread out month to month.


Great stash CK I wouldnt mind one of those Airfix PRXIX i must admit
