What kit have you held off on buying??

Well it is absolutely gorgeous in the box. I've had to wipe the drool off the sprue bags at least twice now. I can hardly find anything negative to be said about the kit either. Really looking forward to starting it, just not sure when.

Ignore...double post.

As a diagnosed Shermanoholic, I had exactly zero resitance to the Tasca Firefly when it came out. Now that you have one, Jester, on a scale of one to ten, would you give the model a twelve or eleven? ;-)

Well today I finally bought the one I had been holding back on. Revell's 1/48 Apollo Lunar Spacecraft. The LHS had a Black Friday event going. 25% off on Revell kits plus I added $10 worth of "rewards points" so the kit I have been oogling since I was a young boy and a friend of mine had one is finally mine for $27 plus tax. Doom on you to the ebay gougers who had the market on this kit cornered for so long until Revell finally re issued this classic.

Sweet!  I like the real space stuff too!  Nice buy!

  I have that kit in the box .Every time I take it out I wonder " If I put this thing together , then where will put it " so back in the box the parts go . For another day of the same .

What a GOOD dilemma to have huh?

Two come to mind, both Zvezda, both ships, the Crusaders era Cog model, and the Black Swann (Pearl)

The Zvezda "Dreadnought" 1/350 would also be nice as would a PL 1/350 Starship Enterprise, all on hold as I'd have to build an addition to the house to display them.

Swap meets are becoming my favorite source of kits due to prices.

I agree. This is my main motivation for attending local shows/contests. The vendor pricing and rare stuff that you can find is just great. Of course, bringing home a medal is good too....

.... was too expensive for my tastes. A few weeks back I went to a model show and saw some on sale for around 50 Euros, which is relatively cheap. My modelling buddy told me to get it, but I resisted. Then we ran into a small stack going for 32... Thank you!

So now I'm building one.

Now thats sounds like exactly what happened to me Jay with that Firefly, grats!!

For a while mine was the Meng A39 Tortoise. Such a crazy looking tank, basically the steel version of an English Mastiff: Slow, big and ugly, but hard as nails and with a bite that shatters small buildings. I loved the model, but it was too expensive for my tastes. A few weeks back I went to a model show and saw some on sale for around 50 Euros, which is relatively cheap.

However, there is one kit that I wanted to build for a looooooooong time, but never did because of cost issues: The Tamiya USS Enterprise in 1/350.

No question, DORA.

Don't forget to check him for sharp pbjects .That looks like a missile to me !

Hey there down under !

You  and I seem to have the same problem ! I love mossies so much I have all sizes except that one .That of course goes for floaty thingys too , The 1/200 Bismark and MISSOURI are on my wish list , but then where'd I put them ?    Tanker-Builder

i held off for a long time on buying the 1/350 tamiya USS Enterprise (new island).when you could find it the price was from 150-250 dollars, i got mine at a venders table a few years ago for 75 dollars. patience payed off.

I recently graduated and I've been doing small jobs here and there, so the only things keeping me from buying the following are price AND lack of a steady job.

- Testors 1/4 visible Hemi engine

- Mato Toys 1/16 Full Metal Stug III

- ...Revell 1/4 Slant Six engine XD

...yeah

M1070 Tractor and M1000 HET Semi-trailer

Cheapest price I have seen is $135 and it back-ordered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holding off on buying one of the Bronco jeeps. Make up my mind which one and they put a new one out.

The 37mm A/T gun one  leads right now, mostly for the gun.

Uh.....some of those rarer Cyber Hobby one-offs. I'm waiting to see if I can score a few of those for a deal on eBay...

You Betchya , Waynec

Me Too !

I've been considering inverted plexi-glass display cases.......on the ceiling.....

Im just trying to figure out where in the world to keep a built 1/24 Mossie!!! I would have to clear out my garage and turn it into a 'museum'............wait a minute

I ummed and aahed over the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito when it was in the LHS.  $240 just seemed a lot, even though it is a lot of model kit.  OOP now and my LHS guy tells me I have missed the boat.  It would have been a big investment, but I wish now I had taken the plunge.

By being patient, I've picked up three of the AIRFIX 1/24 scale kits - older ones without box or decals, mind you- but the prices were early 1970s prices and AIRFIX decals for those kits weren't very good anyway.

I really want a 1/1 scale UH_1N, with miniguns

The Trumpeter Fw-200C-3. Fifty bucks is just a little bit out of my price range at the moment.

has that been released yet. I have the Revell C-8 but really want a decent early C and have been waiting on the Trump kit.

Mine is a 32nd He 219. I am still in two minds about forking out for the ZM kit or going for the Revell. But the more reviews I read, the more I am tempted to go for the revell.
