I build one of those now and then. Over on MM there is talk of a Group Build where each of us has to build a kit that people think is crap, and show how good it can turn out.
I am thinking of doing a couple for that,,,,,I still have a good sized stack of Hasegawa and Starfix T-38s that could be built, and a couple of the Fujimi F-8C/D. There's a Lindberg Skyray sitting in the stack, and a Hawk St Loius and Testors/Hawk SNJ.
But, other than some special event like that,,,,,I don't build those types of kits anymore. I have already built just about all of the old kits in my scale, from the Green plastic Lindberg German aircraft on up through the years.
So, my dues were paid about 3 decades ago, after 19 years of modeling.
I do want to build one Hasegawa and one Starfix T-38 side by side, though,,,,,,just to watch for the posts loving the quality of one, and hating the other,,,,,,,,,,from the same mold toolings. (I will do that on a forum other than here, since I just spoiled the surprise) And dressing up the Fujimi Crusader with great decals and aftermarket missiles and putting it in the middle of the "good" Crusader models on a shelf sounds like fun.
