On Saturday I'll be using some Christmas money to pick up a Monogram 1/48 F 101.
I'm considering one of Academy's choppers also, maybe the Gold Cobra, not sure.

I got a Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog, and a M151A2 with Tow Launcher in 1/35, an Eastern Express Gloster WHittle, and a Douglas World Cruiser in 1/72. I also got an Albatross decal sheet in 1/72 for a-37 Dragonflies with a zillion different small countries camo schemes. (I had a stack of three Dragonfly kits, that I picked up at an estate auction, ,and they were wet, ruining the decals.)
The only downside to this, is that I do build the kits that I receive as gifts, so that the givers can see that I appreciated it. I had better get busy. (I guess it's not really a down side, just another excuse to build instead of doing something useful!)
Happy Holidays,

Sounds like we all will be busy for some time. I love it, plastic and a new year. We will all have to get our works in the gallery when we are done. Show the world that this is the site with the best. Happy New Year guys and gals.
