Still undecided myself, not really a money issue but more of a storage issue.

So I guess what I REALLY and TRULY want is more time so that I get can reduce the stash.

If you don't have it why not a British twenty five pounder/ Quad gun tractor by Tamiya? Smile [:)]

For me, it has been the Tamiya kits. The 1/48 Wildcat and 1/35 Walker Bulldog were really fun, enjoyable kits that put together themselves and didn't need any modifications or alterations.

Same would be for their 1/350 battleship line. I have built theirs, and then the clones from China. The China clones are no comparison to the great quality Tamiya still puts out.

1/35, WWII, The Tamiya Dragon Wagon of course. Absolutely fantastic kit, goes together very nicely, it's a dream to weather, and is just full of presence.

Well, I don't know if they have the WWII Harleys in 1/35 but, they're alot of fun to build

If you lose your sense of humor, you've lost everything

Im a TOTAL military jet fan, But I have to admit I would love to build the Leopold long gun, The one on the tracks. Its a huge model and I believe its made by Trumpeter. Ive seen a couple a some shows and there very impressive.
