I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

Tempting.   I used to only build 1/48 scale, but I ran out of storage room.  I used to have a few 1/32 scale, but gave them away when I saw space was becoming critical.

Maybe I shoulda just started with 1/72 scale?

You would still be out of room by this point. However, you would have more airplanes.

One of these days I need to start that Trumpet 1/32 Wildcat, but I 1) haven't had time, 2) am still trying to figure out what aftermarket kits to use (engine, PE details, guns, etc.), and 3) haven't had the MONEY for said aftermarket kits.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Hobby Lobby is going out of business and are having some pretty sweet deals, I would check with them. :salute
