If you think that is bad consider that there are four more B-17 packages in the stash very similar to this one. I'm sure Hippy Ed understands since it's his fault that I bought all those TD sets -- my credit card company thanks you Ed.

And I felt extravagant when I spent $20 for PE for a $10 kit.  What a rube I am.

only mine was $20 for a $50 kit Well, I guess we can look at it like this, I know a person who sinks thousands of dollars in his car every year to make it faster, and it has almost 160,000 miles on it, and it doesn't go any faster... what I'm saying is this is definetly the lesser of two evils

yeah, I guess it's like I always told my Mom about my comic book habit as a kid:  "At least I'm not spending it on drugs."
