TaiidanTomcat Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Sometimes you have to reduce the stash, but have you ever re purchased the same or new and improved kit or subject later on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Funny you asked, I just re-purchased the 1/48 Monogram F-4C Phantom a few minutes ago. I have built, sold, bought, sold, bought, built, sold, and bought those Monogram/Revell Phantoms so many times over the years. I am not sure if I have a love or a hate relationship with them...

Helmsman Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Lindberg MiG-31. Sold couple of years before AMK kit appeared. Got the latter as soon as I could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

82Whitey51 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 A couple years ago I dumped a Mach2 C-54/DC-4 for a hefty sum after a "lil birdy" mentioned that Revell had one coming soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 How about kits you bought then got got home and oh crap I already have this kit in the stash...... or decals... or books..... :( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I have switched interests a few times. At one point, I decided to focus on car models and purged a good number of planes. The ones I ended up buying again: monogram b-36 Monogram F-104 Monogram F-84F Hasegawa F-4C/D (I got sucked in by a limited issue Bicentennial boxing .. this was before the academy phantoms) Hasegawa 1/32 TA-4J The inverse of your question about getting an improved kit of the subject, once ZM announced the F-4S, I got a good price on a Hasegawa F-4S, a kit which until that point, I did not see very often on ebay.

Joel_W Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm still kicking myself in the butt for selling the Tamiya P-47D Razorback and Bubble, and their F4U-1D. So far I've bought back both jugs, with the Corsair coming shortly. Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Italeri 1/72 F-100F, after I realized how badly misshaped the Trumpeter kit is. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamitri Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Italeri 1/72 B-52H. Bought it. Sold it. Bought it again..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Too many to list. But, off the top of head, Italeri/AMT B-52's and KC-135's, Revell A-6E, Tamiya 1/32 F-16's. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winnie Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I sold my Trumpeter 1/32nd F-105D and F-105G, complete with ALL available aftermarket to raise money for bills a few years back. Regret it to this day, and I WILL be purchasing at least the D back... The money invested in the kits was substantial, and I don't think I recovered a third. I sold a bunch of kits that year, and regret many. there were quite a few hard to find kits, but eventually I'll gt back the most important ones. The F-105's were the hardest.

cag_200 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) MPC's X-wing, the one in white plastic parts only. I don't really like grey colored plastic..fine molds, revell..all suck. Edited October 4, 2017 by cag_200 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
echolmberg Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Actually, the one I'm working on now: Revell/Monogram P-47N. The first one I got, I botched the paint job pretty badly and I ended up tossing the kit because I was stupid and didn't know any better. The second one I bought, I ended up trading for another kit. This is the third RM P-47N I've owned and it's going together like a dream. I'm in the painting phase now and it's going better than I had hoped. There's nothing better than a Revell/Monogram kit.

jbryan911 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I actually sold and bought the same kit. Sold an Italeri Ah-1 at a club swap meet. About a year later I decided I needed another one. Went to a shop in the same town the swap meet had been and found one. Got home and looked closer at the box, and it still had my hand writing on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
