"Hoarder"?
Hmmm, not really? I simply buy kits that interest me and never stop to consider when or if they'll actually get built. At the time of purchase anything I buy will be built and so it it is with the next one too. Then sometimes I focus on something in particular and it's like a challenge to get several examples of let's say, 1/48th pontoon equipped planes for Alaska "Bush Service". Next thing I know I've searched high and low to assemble a small collection of five or so planes that they stopped making about twenty years ago. Then in my mind something snaps and I see "SHINY" somewhere else and it's on to war ships, or seventeenth century sailing ships and this cycle just keep going?
But why am I explaining this- doesn't everyone do exactly that?

Oh its clear now. Your an excessive compulsive
