Still to many kits out there that I have not built to build the same one again. That and I have not even been building seriously for a even a year yet.

Just looking around the room I'm in

11 Shermans, 7 Panthers, 4 Shermans on the work bench.

Please don't ask me to count any other rooms.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

The most I ever had was forty-five or so Bf 109's... Down to eighteen of them now. Same number of Fw 190's.

The most I have of one subject at the moment is the P-40, with right around forty kits. (go figure) But about half of those are in 'the collection' and won't ever be built. At least not by me...

Man, this is a tough question in the armor community. If you break it down to exact model (ie: PzKpfw III) and exact version (ie: Ausf A), then I only have about 4 of the same model. However, if you allow multiple versions, I have 14 duplicates:

2 Jagdpanthers
3 King Tigers
2 Marders
4 Panthers
4 Pz II
5 Pz III
5 Pz IV
3 Stug III
5 Tiger I
2 Kubelwagons
2 Stuarts
7 Shermans
4 Jeep Willys
2 T-34

I have two USS Fletchers (1/350 & 1/700), 2 SBD Dauntlesses, and 2 F-117 Nighthawks (each in 1/72 & 1/48). I'm not quite sure how the duplication happened, but it doesn' t bother me.

I do find it astounding to go to model shows and see someone entering a dozen Spitfires or Mustangs, each in different camo schemes. Sometimes it's variants, like different Marks in the case of the Spitfire. Other times I think it's a kind of fetish.

How many models do you have of the same subject?

I have always wondered why someone would build heaps of models of the one subject. And I'm not talking about the second, third or even fourth model of a P-51 in your collection.

We all have multiples of the same model, but the kit may vary in:
- manufacturer
- OOB vs aftermarket vs scratchbuilt
- scale (eg a/c in 1/48 & 1/72)
- subject depiction (eg use of different decals, era's, refit/config's)
- display (eg waterline vs full hull)
- etc.

But I've seen some "Phantom Phreaks" and "Messerschmitt Maniacs" whose collection ranges into the high twenties, and possibly higher [:0].

I personally have 2x USS New Jerseys & 2x Bismarcks (diff scale & manuf.), 2x P-47s & Corsairs & F-16s. And thats it. I dont avoid buying multiples of the one model nor kit, I just like the variety - although I'm only 23 so there may come a point in my lifetime that I do more of the one subject Wink [;)].
