Poor Self Control? See also: Damn you Tamiya!

I'm going through the same thing with the new Tamiya model of the Marder 1 kit.  I already have built model of   gosh I can't remeber who did it,  ICM, Alan?, and I got a Panda kit of one a few years ago. Ugly vehicles, but the Tamiya box art is very appealing.   I'm a sucker for that.  That's what got me to do their Elephant, and already did 2 Dragons (with and without zimmerit), and a couple of Italeri kits, a long time ago.  Oh well, that is a common plastic modelers problem.   I'm still thinking about the Tamiya new KV 1 vs my Trumpter KV 1 kits.

A friend got one weeks ago with his Tamiya connections.  He said the kit is pure heaven.  Even better than the Tomcats.  I have the 1/32 Tamiya Corsair coming soon.  That's been called the greatest achievement in plastic molding.  I'm certainly looking forward to building the Phantom.

Damn you both!  I just bought one too.  

Your post is right on time.  Not 5 minutes ago I got off the phone with one of the club members asking if I wanted one of these.  Of course I said yes.  I also have the ZM Phantom but the new kit temptation was to much to overcome.
