As Christmas 2019 is now a thing in the past, I was reflecting this Sunday morning on My Forgotten Hobby I had created in December 2013, and how to eventually build all the 60+ model kits I have bought since the early 1980s.
Memories from the past still linger on…
I wish I could build Monogram’s Spitfire Mark IX again. It was state-of-the art back in the 1960s. I know I could still buy one. However the price might be quite high for just reminiscing about the past.
With that in mind I had decided to shop around a little on Amazon.ca and I found this for under $30 CDN…
How could I resist not buying it. I had built Monogram’s P-39 in the 1970s and gave it away in 1973 with most of my collection to my students in my history class when I moved out of my parents’ place.
I then said to myself…
Why have I said last year I will never ever buy another model kit…?
I know this is not a Spitfire, but this one is…
Why have I said last year I will never ever buy another model kit…?
That was before I found this Eduard’s Spitfire Mk IX review…
How could I have ever said I will never ever buy another model kit?
I have given up trying to plan anything more than the next build in advance. There are too many bright shiny objects out there.

Very wise Jeff. I will follow this advice. Live and let’s build one at a time…
