I get that way at times where I come across a kit that I lusted after as a child but could never afford and although it's badly molded, inaccurate, I'll buy it anyway and do it. The build process then becomes - for me, anyway - a trip back through time.

The Revell Essex Class carriers back in my day, were at the top of the food chain as far as ship kits went. Even kids who didn't build models wanted one! I like building old kits to see how far modelling has come and also to sometimes prove that the newer kits aren't always better.

Cheers,


Don
