Hey, 109, you've got more kits than my local model shop!
BTW, haven't forgotten your 109K profile, doing a bit at a time, as my hands are a bit stiff with the arthritis at the moment. Shouldn't be long now though.

You know, it's just occured to me, after all these years! 109 has the right idea, 'planning on adding more over the next couple of years'.
I often buy a kit, ready to work on at some time in the future, as we all probably do. But, the days of kits being on a manufactuter's stock-list indefinitely are long gone, so it's well worth buying one or more of particular models as they are available, the more the better, if you can afford to. That way, you know that you can plan and build what you want/need at virtually anytime in the future. Thanks for the hint, Daniel!

No worries Terry!
That was sorta my plan from when I got into modelling ,I originally only wanted WW11 aircraft in my collection but that soon went to custard when I wanted some of my favourite jets ,Phantom..Mig-21...seahawk...etc. I'm trying to keep it that way and only 1/72 but that also is looking like that will turn to custard as I really want a couple of 1/32 109's mainly because of Wayne (its ok Wayne I don't blame you I blame your amazing modelling skills)
I actually tried making a list a few times of what aircraft I wanted and in what liveries ,quite a hard thing to do.There was actually a time when I wanted only about 10 109's in my collection!
now its somewhere between 50-100 because of all the different variants and fDifferent liveries,Can not believe now that there was a time when I wanted just 1 Me-109 in Winter livery now Hartmann alone will have 2-3 in winter livery
then I tried keeping the entire collection under 100 planes and thats ran out the door now I'm just trying to keep to a budget hence most of my models come from trademe...
so its sorta a lifetime thing....good thing I'm 16 I spose

Good plan there, Daniel! Have you thought about doing a 1/32nd scale from the 21st Century Models range? They're cheap compared to 'normal' kits, about £10 in the U.K., and, from what I've seen and heard, are not too bad. Obviously very basic, but lend themselves to a whole load of scratch-building detail, or even the addition of detailing sets, but keeping the cost down. I've been thinking of trying their '109, just to see what can be done.

So thats it. At 16 I had the vision of an Eagle myself. Now at 68, 1/72 models would be totally out of the question. I have a couple 1/48 F4Us but can't seem to get started on them, too much on my plate. Now I need a new garage roof before winter hits here on the Oregon coast so have to get cracking on that. You keep up the building and collecting, its a great hobby.

Will do Tpikdave ,sometimes thought about having a 1/48 scale collection but when I look at the cost and size it's just to much so I stick with 1/72
Yes I have Terry , I was looking at doing one of there Corsairs but will proberly also a 109 because of the cost
I haven't seen them retailing anywhere only ever seen them on trademe and they're snapped up pretty quick
will have to go Hunting!

Wow, Jan! Looks like you're going to town on the Mossie and Beau!
I've pre-ordered the Airfix 1/24th scale Mossie, due in the shops December now (was going to be October). Only thing is, I'll have to start saving, not just for the kit (£80), but for a shed to put the finished model in!!
