    Yes and no. I think my “stash”, I prefer the word “collection” is well short of 30 kits, and those I add must be “must haves”, like the Kotare Hurricane will be, but I find it immensely frustrating that I probably won’t get round to building them all. My fingers are itching to start my Grebe, my Fury and other biplanes that I have, but a couple of Hurricanes and a Typhoon are priorities. So the waiting list sits there goading me!

    Interesting Mike. Never tried that. When I am practicing for soaring flight in the club ASK-21 or Duo Discus I use the Condor flight sim which is specific for gliders and I don’t use screens: I use VR goggles and it totally changes one’s whole experience. One can lose far too much time doing that: (04:00 thirsty as hell, desperately needing a pee saying “just one more landing…”) 
    Now then Mr Legge, I didn’t realize were playing a game of ‘how many ways can we circumvent my completely made-up rules’ so now you have me thinking again… I can’t hold back the tide now can I?

    Hopefully when large 3d printed parts are broken in two parts the break is generally "clean". This means that with some extra thin CA glue the repair is often invisible without need for putty and sanding. However, we are not always that lucky! I just got a badly packaged 3d printed resin part that has exploded in more than a dozen of tiny pieces ...

    Ta-152 H
     
    SR-71
     
    Imagine strolling on a tarmac deciding which one you fell like flying today!
    Should these be somehow unserviceable that day, here’s my plan B (one has to plan for that, no?):

    I picked the Jungmeister, the Bearcat and the Turbo Commander because I could actually fly any of the three and not kill myself.  The Jungmeister is regarded by some as the acme of traditional small bipes for its fine handling qualities, while the Bearcat is reported to be relatively easy to fly - considering what it is - and looks like it is about to explode and kick somebody’s ass even when tied down three ways to Sunday.  The Commander has wonderful lines and would take me anywhere on the planet in style and comfort at a decent speed.  So we’re talking fun, testosterone, and practicality.

    1 of each boxing of the WNW Camel, so that makes 5 of those. I've got 2 of a few other Wingnuts kits, but the Camel reigns supreme in the stash

    My excuse is that I am reserching Barlow's Type 464 for my 1/32 Border Models kit and I have a piece of his aircraft. I hope that it will be accurate.

    WNW Fokker DVII in different boxings - I think two of every boxing they did of it? I really bought into the "limited run" nature that they had said initially on their kits. At least I have built two of them and two more underway lol....
