Oh man, I think my brain has gone into lockdown ! I must have read the poll wrong or before my morning coffee. I'd like to see the split builds stay even though 2 votes looks like a crushing defeat ! Please change my # 2 to a N if possible.

The only thing I could say about the split builds is there have been a few where I would of had to buy a kit to fit the category but because of the second option I had a kit in my stash.

So you are intimating you don't BUY your kits??????
I for one would like to know how this works!
Not Buying kits is an interesting concept mate

I win them in hi-stakes poker games ! I have a pretty good stash of kits but they are all 1:72 scale Luftwaffe. I had to buy some to participate in a couple of group builds, Saab Draken and Spitfire for example. It is nice to build something different now and then though. When I figure out how to get them for free I will surely let you know. I think your Government works the same as ours, there's got to be an angle in there somewhere !

They stole the election we've won we want a recount. Oh sorry I seem to have gone off the deep end there. It's the cold.

As long as you tell her its a different kit from the others, you should be good. Its when she looks at the stash and asks why you have eight Spitfires, that's when you start sweating

Stack the boxes random not in groups, some upside down, she'll never get it!

I just need to know what we're doing for GP50, so I can find one that fits in and BUY it!!!!!

I'm hoping GB 50 is for zombies - builds that are back from the dead, started but never finished. Thanks Jeff. Recorded.

You take out an empty Monogram B-36 box, I'm gonna sell it or swap it. Then you came back with it packed full. I couldn't get anything for it. Four new kits

Good tip, I usually put my empty boxes in the recycling. I'm definitely going to save my Me 323 and Bv 222 boxes now !!!
