My husband was always on about buying a FW-190 from our local model shop.
He went on and on, but I wouldn't give in.
I had to have a small operation to remove a benign tumour from my arm. It was done as an out-patient procedure. On our way home we passed the model shop. "Let's pop in to see what they have", said he. Of course, we came out carrying a 72" FW-190, retracts etc etc, and me thinking "How did that happen?"
It's still unstarted.
The purchase was in 1984!
Maybe when I retire......
Yes, I seem to have turned into a Goldberg collector. Still looking for that mint "Shoestring", although I probably wouldn't be able to see it now that I'm nearly a hundred years old (using New Labour counting methods and adjusting for inflation)

3 x Goldberg Falcon 56's (Mk 1, Mk 2, Mk3)
1 x Goldberg Skylark 56 (Mk 2, I think)
