How many kits in the closet or storage?

Ask other modelers for a little help / knowledge ?

I am only doing WWI models so I am always looking for the discontinued kits esp. if they are just plans and plastic. They are cheaper that way (not collectible) and I don't have to feel guilty for opening a collectible.
A bumblebee isn't supposed to fly but does.
My plane is supposed to fly but doesn't.
Balances out doesn't it : )

I'm not much into collecting because i figure they were meant to fly not stay in a box ? thats like people have nice classic cars and store them but i can't see that i would rather drive it because thats what they were meant for...lol :lol:

I am not a collector per se since I plan on building all my kits. I have most of the Freeflight OOP Sterling kits, Comet Kits, Peck Polymers and Guillows. My goal is to build 4 to 6 a year. Somewhere in there I would like to build a 1/4 scale RC Sig Piper Cub......Where does the time go?

I built the Sig 1/4 scale clipped wing Cub back in the mid 80's. It is a real nice kit!!! Sig still produces one of the best R/C scale kits on the market today, IMO.

I have 2 series 900 kits, the Chipmunk and the Trojan. Also a Comet Porterfield 65 and an EB Fokker D7.
My issue is time and running out of space for built planes.

I have around 20- 30 aircrafts mostly rc controlled.
5 of them iare Guillows.
I have built one of the Guillows kits, the 400 series Me 109.
The Me is waiting for it`s maiden flight and a big scale ju87 is next to be built, on the ju87 i`m going to use my own balsa.
