Tough call. I don't generally buy the latest and greatest kit release. While I do have an Academy 1/48 A-10C in the closet, I do tend more toward the older, less expensive kits. So, if I happen to have a couple of extra "C" notes in my pocket, I'd wander the vendor area at some club's annual show and pick up whatever strikes my fancy. Then, again, I would like to get hold of the new Tamiya 1/48 F-35B to go along with the F-35A sitting on the display shelf.

OK. In the stash: Way too much to build in one lifetime...

I'd like to get my hands on a Wingnut Wings Eindecker or one of their Gotha bombers.  

Since I am not much into big or expensive kits anymore though, my true wish would a nice enclosed glass display case that is big enough to put my finished builds in and keep them safe.

Man that's a tough call. If display space was not a consideration, perhaps a large gun like the Atomic Cannon or Leopold railway gun in 1/35... or maybe a 1/350 IJN aircraft carrier such as Akagi, Hiryu, or Shokaku... not sure what aircraft kit that I'd get... perhaps one of the 1/32 B-25s or B-26 Invaders... And of course there are the 1/72 real space kits of a Saturn V rocket or Space Shuttle with tank & booster rockets. In sci fi, if Dragon were to ever release their announced 1/35 AT-AT....

Many years ago, I turned my nose up at the Fine Molds 1/72 scale Millennium Falcon kit. Instead, I bought both the 1/72 Jengo Fett and 1/72 scale Boba Fett version of the Slave 1.

I'd hunt one of those Falcons down with a spare few hundred dollars.

If you got a handful of bills for free (couple of 100$ bills) what model would you most likely be bringing home? I've been think along those lines also.  I was given some bucks from family. is it going to be armor or a vintage classic car?
