Thank goodness for "flea markets"!!!! I continue to "build my stash" of kits, balsa and fabric covering. I have gotten some INCREDIBLE BUYS on a few kits and 15meter rolls of solartex ($3 each!!!!)in the past month. The few hobby shops I know of that are within an hours drive of me are worthless...to me anyhow. They only have small electric plane and heli stuff....tons of parts, etc, but thats not my main interest.

I tend to think in ten years that real wood kits and assoc. bldg supplies will be noticeably harder to obtain than they are today....just my opinion. The only thing that may slightly slow this trend would be as the "older" modelers pass and their "stashes" of kits, etc, become available.
