I bet it cost a lot more than the $1.59 Revell models I used to buy at the corner drug store.

I hadn't put a model together since I was probably 10 or 11 and I'll be 59 next month.
Wife asked me to go by Hobby Lobby about a month ago to get her mom something and as I was looking for it I happened to go down the isle with the models.
They had a Revell P51 Mustang 1/48 kit that caught my eye since my dad was in WW2.
Long story short I wound up getting it, all the paints, tools and supplies I needed and now I'm back into models, War planes at least.
Got that one put together and now working on a Vought Corsair F4U4 1/32 kit.
I'm really enjoying picking the hobby back up from nearly 50 years ago.

Very cool. Glad I started this thread to find out I’m not the only one with the interests
