Easy to get lost on My Forgotten II unless you have been following me since My Forgotten Hobby.
In December 2013 I reconnected with my forgotten hobby when I stumbled upon a blog about another modeler. It was then I decided to start reminiscing…and writing about my forgotten hobby.
Now I am writing on My Forgotten Hobby III.
You will have to go there from now on to follow My Forgotten Hobby II…

I had to stop adding coats after coats of acrylic yellow on my Monogram AT-6 (Harvard).
Monday I decided on the spur of the moment to take off every coat, yellow, white and black using Windex!
I will now wait until springtime and use my airbrush outside to finish up this project. Yesterday I started my Airfix Spitfire Mk Vb I bought two years ago part of the Dogfight Doubles.
I am amazed by all the tiny little pieces there are as well as the thinness of larger parts like the wings and the fuselage. I guess that the way to go now with all newer model kits on the market.
I have been doing a lot of impulse buying lately, leading me to reflect on it this morning. I feel impulse buying is fueled more by the fear that a particular model kit will not be available anymore like Eduard’s 1/48 scale Hawker Tempest V I would have liked to add to my stash.
Well it won’t happen again…
I feel it does not matter anymore if I build all my model kits stashed away since the 1980s or those I recently bought. Every time I look at what I have, I am always reflecting on why I keep buying more and more especially when the price is right like the two Focke-Wulfs…
It’s all about fear.
And the two WWII German bombers…
Did I say two WWII German bombers…?
