I also buy every kit with the intention of building it. So far, I'm right on schedule!

I bought testor's F-22 Raptor and thought that it would be cool to build. Of course I am an Armor Freak so I just built the first three steps and it was allready collecting dust in the corner. Grumpy [|(] I passed it to my friend and he's a ship/aircraft builder and he made better use of it. Thats my story.

Same here, every kit I've bought is slated for construction. Mind you as the unbuilt kits pile up, just when is an other story.

Yup, did that with a whole bunch of kits, then gave them all away, then decided I wanted to build one of them, bought it, and haven't built it yet. Anyone see a pattern here???

Yep, did that so many times with car kits. I get bored of a subject sometimes, and just want something different. I'll go into the hobby store, look around, pick up something totally bizzare, come home, ogle the pieces inside, never touch it again!
I have a few sitting around, gathering dust. I give them to my younger brother in hopes that maybe he'll pick up the hobby too!

Blush [:I]Yep! Been there; done that. Many years ago I bought the Billy Carter pickup truck (even though I'm not a car afficianado). I just got a kick out of it and even had a can of Billy Beer to accompany the kit.

Well...the kit is still in its box. The beer has passed on to a better place.

You Will Not Build The Kit

Have you ever purchased a kit knowing you were not going to build it? This happened to me back in the late 80s while stationed in Indiana. I went to the local hobby store looking for an armor project and walked out with a corvette. As soon as I saw the box I knew I was Going to purchase the kit and not build it. The box indicated 429 CORVETTE. Well, the 429 is a FORD engine. It was a miss print, it was supposed to say 427. Only a few hundred made it to the streets before the correction was made. Just wondering if anyone else has stories?
