RE: CMP BF109F BUILDING THREAD

Heres what I do when I get cheated out of a long service life from a model.
I sit and wait for the sales or deals of the same thing. I have all the hardware already, the second one has to be cheaper.
My thinking is smash as little cash as possible. I have ready to assemble turbine models (with scale retracts, BVM F-16) that I have purchased, that have less cash in them than some of the arfs out there.
Remember, all these models (99%) come out of China. Its not "you get what you pay for" as much these days as," someone gets your pay".
Patience, and research the net.
I rarely sell hardware, I reuse it.
Disclaimer: Doesn't work with ones favorite airframes.
I hope you find a deal.
