What kit have you held off on buying??

All the ones that cost over a hundred bucks!

I hear ya Don. A friend and I just had this discussion about the most we've ever spent on a kit the other day and I dont think I have spent over 55 on one. Now aftermarket upgrade sets, lets just not even go there.

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.

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

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.

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

You Betchya , Waynec

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...

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.

M1070 Tractor and M1000 HET Semi-trailer

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

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

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.

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

Eagle90 ;

  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 .

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

No question, DORA.

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. 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.

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.

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

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....

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.

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!

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? ;-)

Ignore...double post.
