Well you gotta like that. I priced out the H&S brush i wanted and it was over 300 bucks. Too rich for me.

The missus asked me why I needed another AB and I told her I'm looking ahead to retirement. When the Aztek finally gives it up, will I be able to afford another one? This is the reason I am stocking up on tools now

Good plan. Wish I'd though of that before I pulled the plug.
Make sure to tell her she'll get a tax write off when she donates your equipment!

This arrived today - vintage 1968, and complete, 'as new', including the rigging line ('Invisible' thread).
This range of kits were way ahead of their time 52 years ago, and still stand up very well to today's offerings, with this Gladiator comparing very favourably with the much, much newer Roden kit in my stash.

Is that by any chance the one that Lindberg re-boxed?

Thought that as well Glenn but Inpact is the grandaddie

Yep, George has got it.
The original kit was from Inpact and, when they went out of business, Lindbergh acquired the moulds. They did it as the Mk1, and later, as a Mk.II, with 3-blade prop.
Pyro, Lifelike and Merit have also re-boxed the Mk1 version.
I went for the original Inpact issue, from 1968, having built one way back then, and also because I reckoned the mouldings would be sharper, being the original, first issue.
If anyone is interested, i can do a brief review with pics of the parts - when i eventually figure out how to upload pics quickly and easily via the ridiculously complex Windows 10 system !!!

More history in the yet to be completed review, elsewhere in the Modelling threads - just got to get the problem sorted with the photo uploads, which seems to be a glitch in this new PC with Win 10.

This arrived yesterday too, but couldn't post the pic due to the photo upload problems etc.
