Kit vs. ARF The battle continues. We will call it "Operation Futility" and march our crusaiders bravely against the enemy. Err... which side am I on anyway? There is a place for both in this hobby. I like taking an ARF and throwing it together in a night over a six pack as much as any other guy I guess. But there is a certain peace in all those pieces you find in a kit that an ARF will never provide. Unfortunately lazyness and instant gratification, as usual, seems to be winning the war. It is getting harder and harder to find a kit worth building. Soon a builder will only be able to get a Guillow's kit to satisfy his need to glue bits of wood together. I am 38 yrs old and have started collecting kits (including a Royal B-25, pre-Martuka). So when I retire I have more to do than die on the couch watching TV with 1/2 in calluses on my thumbs from playing X-Box and texting.
