A forgotten model...
I was on the phone talking to my father the other night and he said "I've got a model here for ya". It wasn't my birthday nor is it close enough to Christmas to excuse the purchase of a kit, so a bit confused I asked him to elaborate. He said he had been digging through some old bins and boxes in the closet and had found the Revell boxing of an Me-109 in 1/48th scale and said it must be mine.
I don't remember exactly ever having bought that kit. Must have been an impulse buy that I just tucked away for a rainy day before I had as large a stash or appreciation of modeling as I do now. Never the less, it was a pleasant surprise...almost like finding $20 in your old pair of jeans.
I'll be collecting it from his house soon, where it will be welcomed into my growing stash. Anything like this ever happen to you?
