                        I would go for a 1/32 Black Hawk
                        I would go for 1/24 Huey
                        and then donated it to the memory of the comrades i lost in the five conflict i served in.

                        Well how about Collect-Aire Models 1/48 Resin Mig-31M or almost anythink from Heritage Models. The choice would be hard! How about a $1000 shopping spree?Tongue [:P]

                        Well, I guess it would depend what the store had in stock, but I would settle for the Tamiya Enzo Ferrari kit or one of their 1/12 motorcycle kits. I don't follow the modeling releases that close so I don't have a wish list of exotic kits that I'm looking for and most of the kits on my want list are just basic Revell-Monogram or AMT kits so I wouldn't want to 'waste' my good fortune on something like that.Tongue [:P] I've never built a Tamiya kit yet because I've just never had the money but hearing all the good things about them, I'm just dying to try one.

                        Either the Tamiya 1/32 Zero or their 1/350 Enterprise.

                        Right now it would have to be either the Tamiya 1/32 Zero or the Tamiya Swordfish. Of course one of the new big carriers or battleships wouldn't be bad either.

                        I'm an aircraft builder, but if I could have it for free, I'd have to choose that 1/32 ( or was it 1/72? either way, still HUGE !) U-Boat. I can't recall which company made it, though. Of course, I'd HAVE to get the dockside, too . . .

                        Either a nice 1/32 scale Phantom, or the Revell 1/48 B-1B.

                        It would have to be either the Full option Tiger one or Pershing in 1/16.

                        I think I will have the big problem - and in the end I will go out the shop without any model! I remember my first travel abroad (in 1970s) to "Western" country (Holland) - I've found a big modelshop in the Hague and went there for shoping. Since I had a pocket money only for one model, I spent nearly whole day looking, watching and thinking, and in the end I went back home without any model ! But now - I think Tamiya 1/48 "Val" or Trumpeter 1/24 Spitfire Mk Vb would be my choice ! Regards! Aleksander

                        Yeah, the 1/32 Panda B-17 (if it exists) would be pretty serious...........it'd be a good one to find out just how far you can go with the superdetailing thing..........
                        Or the Big Wright Flyer - or the Poscher Rolls Royce (about 3000 parts including functioning brakes, wind up windows, pistons and cams that go round and up and down............Yeah, DJ - the 1/16 Tyrell P34 - what an amazing car........

                        Somewhere out their is a 1/16 scale MLRS that is r/c.
                        It can even fire small rockets.
                        (I saw it on the web)
                        I guess that is the one I would want.
                        But I hear that their is a 1/32 scale B-17G on the way from Panda .
                        I am so torn.

                        If I can get only STATIC model kits, then I'll get the Tamiya 1/32 Zero Real Sound and Action kit or the Hasegawa 1/16 Wright Flyer. Both of them are $300 kits.

                        If I can have ANY kits, then I'll get the Tamiya 1/16 RC Tiger. That's about $900. I'm saying this because I'll never buy any of those kits, so getting it for free is my only chance.

                        I'd have to break away from my usual tastes for this one ...... I'd grab the new Dragon Leopold Railway Gun.

                        If they were out of that one then I'd look for the old Heller model of the H.M.S. Victory.

                        Stood on the decks of both so I have an interest in them.

                        If you walked into your favorite hobby shop and the owner said you could have any one kit in the store for free, what would you choose?

                        For me, it would be the Tamiya USS Enterprise. I've lusted after that kit for years now. How about you?Cool [8D]
