Yeah, I can vouch for that CA 109A being a bear. I think I picked it up at a LHS discount shelf (being the 109 whore I am :oops: ) At any rate, I could have sold it for 3 times what I paid for it but hey, how else would I have the A variant? Got several other CA kits in stash, one was a pricey splurge, the BP Defiant (I needed it for my BoB collection).

The CA Wideon was going for about 60-80 on ebay. Got one for 40 last night. the Glencoe Duck is on the way, too. . . and the Lindberg Goose. Need a Mallard and a Albatross in 1/48. I have the 1958 1/72 Albatross.

This will likely be my first experience with resin, when I get to it.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
