Just for a change, #1 does it for me!!! Looks like a B-17 that went a bit wrong on the drawing board! Great pic, though - up to the usual SP standard thumbup1.gif

Yep, I'm up for #1 as well. I still remember buying a 1/72 scale B-36 plastic kitset - either by Hasegawa or Italeri - which I never got around to building. Ended up collecting some 1500-odd kits (99% 1/72 scale) including an extremely rare 1/72 747! Those were the days - plenty of time on my hands, single income no kids, living at home. Oh for a time machine! dry.gif

Nope - sold the lot. Just about broke even once I was done (about $5k as I recall). That was back in the day before I'd heard of TradeMe (not even sure it existed then) and broadband was largely only for businesses. Sold most of the kits via newspaper ads (remember those?) and the Thursday Trader (which was big at the time). Was sad to see some of them go, but having the money was more important than hundreds of boxes of plastic that I was never going to build.
