RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD
If you have the time and skill and desire to build scale , I have much respect for you. If you don't thats ok too.
But, its just not as impressive to get a model pre finished out of a box and assemble it. Then its all the same models at the filed. Same colors even.
Sure you don't want to crash a hand built master piece, or a heavily modified arf, thats why we mold our stuff . It makes any model immortal really. Any model.
I fabricate and modify my models because I hang around people who are master modelers/fabricators, and are not very easily impressed. And still all in good fun.
But thats just us. To each his own.
An arf is just a big head start for me on a "build".
