Won another kit at my IPMS club raffle. Armor selection was limited to just an Italeri M4A1 Sherman and a Tamiya towed Flak 37 gun. I ended up choosing a Tamiya 1/48 scale Gloster Meteor F.3.
A friend offered to trade a Tamiya T-72M1, plus an Esci 1/72 T-62 and the Eduard 1/72 scale PE for the T-62 in exchange for the Meteor. Needless to say, next month I'll have a new T-72. And here I thought I was going to be stuck with another aircraft kit, albeit a very nice one with clear engine covers.
Should have bought a Powerball ticket...

Rob,
Sounds like my experiences with the Granite State folks in Nashua NH.
For $5 per month I've won
Trumpter S tank
1/48 Hasegawa A7E (traded for BMP3)
Trumpeter T55 w plow ( to be canabalized for fittings for SP designs T55 urban assault vehicle)
Revell F15E 1/48
Academy F15C1/48
and a Trumpeter 1/32 A10 ( and a second ticket pulled that month that I turned down)
I've been a member for about a year and a half and been to about a dozen meetings, at $5 per meeting that's $60 out..
I figure I'm WAY ahead at this point.

Rob,
Man if I had your luck I'd be buying 4 or 5 Powerball tix for each drawing. Nice little trade, no matter what some people say I think the Tamiya T-72 is a nice kit.
