Airfix

[Rheged]

..the money we spend on our hobby it is from the disposable section of our income rather than the essentials part.

I think that can be a subject for a rather extensive debate, in particular if a few better halves get involved.... 

All you need to do when the subject comes up is to open the wardrobe door, point at the shoes and then run 

I married a research botanist so I wouldn't point at the shoes or handbags, but at the "choice" specimens in the flower beds.     Fortunately we have an understanding;  Bridget doesn't question my kit or photographic buys as long as things are reasonably neatly stored and I don't question her planting choices as long as they don't have too many thorns........................and we both buy too many  books.

The late Mrs PR19 only had one complaint about my 'stuff', and that was about the kitchen door stop.

Mind you, it was a Hillman Imp engine block.

This conversation is a little off track!

So any new kits from Airfix to buy?

[NARSES2]

One time my wife got really mad at me about buying another model I told her it was better than coming home drunk and puking on the living room floor. I might be puttering around in the basement but at least you know where I am.

Im impressed. You lived to see another day...............

Yea, but has he been let out of the basement since ?

Me either! Plus I'll never build all the ones I have!

I find there's just no point now in  building up huge numbers of kits that, as you point out, you will never build. I donated most of mine to Models For Heroes and, a local charity shop. I now have a very manageable number left and, when I do buy kits nowadays it's on a one for two basis, i e,  I build two before I buy another one! Suits my budget very well !

But with a larger number in stock you always have loads of opportunities to build Whiffs, more shapes that could be needed to fill in the gaps that your imagination produces.......

   .Actually, a lot of them DO end up that way...........! My Airfix B-29 is currently morphing into a Luftwaffe '46 long range bomber project and, one of my Lancasters will morph into a R R Griffon engined Avro Manchester (using engines from an old FROG Avro Shackleton). Of course, once my own iteration of the Manchester appears, someone will produce a proper model......!

Of course they will, they scour our build lists and then think 'That's a good idea' and go ahead and make one too.

  . Well, in that case,I'd better get cracking on a Vulcan B1/B1A and Lincoln then!

I'm sure there are people who will appreciate your Taking One For The Team!

Airfix just announced a new tool 1/72 Me 410. Markings and parts for two different sub-variants, with the marking being for two machines, one in the USA and the other in the UK

It's my pleasure!
