Default RE: Would you build this kit?

My answer to the main question is no. I just can't afford the money being asked for these kits and then all the other items needed to complete them. I tend to just buy my plans and wood then scratch out my own kits. I have the time so it isn't any big deal for me.
I have built the Skyshark kits for customers and love the product. I wanted to build there JU 87 for myself but the cost of the kit and the finished product was the killer of the deal. That's A lot of money for A 60 size semi scale war bird but if you wanted one then they were the folks to buy from, great product.
I really like the BUSA items too and for the size and quaility the price isn't that outlandish, great support too.
My hobby money is just too thin be be buying kits today so I have to be very selective. I get most of my own kits at auctions and if the price isn't right then I don't buy them. So far I have been very lucky but still end up cutting my own kits more often then not.
