Hey tho - I bought two here in Cincinnati, and asked that they order in the other ones from Texas! Just kiddin'.....
I had a rather meager budget ($30 to $35 or so...), I just bought $60 worth on e-Bay, but my wife knows how much I want to collect. So what did I get?
-1/48 Monogram ProModeler A-4E/F (Blue Angels)
-1/48 Revell-Monogram F-105G
-1/48 Revell (Monogram?) F-4J (Blue Angels)
-1/72 Revell Germany P-47D
My 3 year old daughter picked out the P-47, she wants me to build her a purple airplane, to go next to the pink airplane that's about to go on her shelf (it's a 1/72 F6F Hellcat w/ Dora and Disney Princesses stickers on it).
The A-4 has USMC markings for an E model...I'll probably do that. I may do the F-4J in operational markings...I'm not big on doing demonstration teams. Although...I'd rather "waste" a Monogram kit than a Hasegawa kit on doing Blue Angels colors....
