experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

If you saw it you would understand.  There is plenty of time to curl up in a sleeping bag and get a good night's sleep between points A and B.   ;D
So I got that going for me...which is nice....

I was very good at Cov and only bought an Academy 1/48 KV-107 (my first ever Academy kit!) and a Hasegawa 1/72 T-2 "Aggressor" which was bought purely for the Cobras head decals of the KyodoTai aggressor sqdn - whiff gold!

Sold a few kits, but they are going inthe "bank" for the glut of must-have releases in the next 6 months...

Nev, do the T-2 in Jag colours for the RAF 100 build, should get a few scratching their heads! :drink:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
