frustratedpilotHey.
Temptation got the better of me (and my $5) last night, when I was at the hobby store that hosts my monthly IPMS club meeting. Got myself a 1/144th Minicraft B-25 Mitchell (the same type aircraft as in my avatar for this post) as the kit was in the half-off bargain bin. When I finish building it, I'll set it on a "document spindle" I got years ago as a "flying" base. Haven't decided on the paint scheme. I could go with desert camo, woodland camo, mountain camo or Marine Corps patrol bomber.
I'm still working through my Flames of War phase. I'm pretty sure I can't really take it up...I don't have the funds.
The thing about the game is that it walks the tightrope with being historical on one side and being about getting bang-for-buck on the other. It's just weird how both ways both turn me on and turn me off at the same time.
