I recently purged The Stash, and this is what is left (not shown is the naval kits, which are on top of the fridge, adding another 5 kits--oh, and the 3 on my bench currently, and the 4 en route from eBay). Almost everything here has some AM PE, decals, and resin in the box, or some dio accessories, etc. They certainly all have a plan.

I've come to realize a few tings throughout this:

1) I never need to buy another kit as long as I live
2) I hope to live as many days as to complete all of these
3) I need more Extra Thin

Looks good-- some nice artwork there too! I wish I could say I had a smaller stash. I've been giving stuff away and trading it now for several years to winnow it down. My rule is if I want a new kit, I have to get rid of three or four kits. I had a little over 2,000 kits when I retired in 2006, a product of buying kits everywhere I went for nearly 35 years, but not building many, if any. Little by little, I sold, traded or gave away most of my collection, but I still have about 200+ kits on the shelf. I've been trying to increase output recently, but I go for long periods where I don't even look at the bench. I currently have 6-7 started builds in various forms, and have come to realize at my age I might not finish everything I have, but it's the "journey" of working with my hands that I enjoy the most. Arthritis is rearing its ugly head though. Good luck with that stash-- tackle it before age gets you!
VR, Russ

As Russ said.

And I see more of them aircraft, then tanks.

That will not do at all.LOL

So at least 30 more tanks need to be added.

Hi Christian,
As for armour kits, it seems manageable -I think you will have to buy more sooner or later

Hey hey hey.....some of those planes are kinda tanks. The Skyraider, the Frogfoot, and the Warthog all count as half-a-tank.

Hmmm correct. And the T-54 with interior counts twice. Maybe one year more for them, still I don't think you have (armour) models for a lifetime!
