I have like 30+ Tamiya car models and a crap ton of detail parts for them, but I never finish them cause I want them to be perfect and I'm too scared to F it up. It's been awhile since I've bought one, and have been thinking of picking up a few Impreza models for a few weeks now. I'd like to get back into it but just don't have the space at the moment.

sweet looking ship btw. you have an airbrush? Or pre-painted?

The base color, stripes/and the engine detialing were all done with the airbrush.

the one bad thing about model building is you have to have space. Which i dont...lol

If it's the Avenger that you can place the wings either enxtended or folded even after it's finish, it's worth a bit of cash. The diorama guys would offer a good ammount of cash for it.

You should build it though!

I've always loved the WW2 scenes. Was too into car models to pick up that hobby though.

Yup. It's the old model kit from like the 70's in a new box. Folding Wings, retractable landing gear and all the good stuff. I built one when i was about 13 too and i totally destroyed it. I used to try and find the models with all the functioning pieces. Let me know how much i can snag for it if you can. its this one and sorry for the big picture.

My brother has half a wall full of gundam and star wars stuff, I'll take a pic next time I'm there.

I wanted to collect model cars, brought home 2 ferraris and 1 lambo from Austria 15+ years ago....but pretty much stopped there when I realized that the good quality model cars in the Philippines were quite pricy for a poor high school boy LOL
