Hi, thanks, Paul! I've got the SNJ on my wish list, but in 1/48, I'm on the lookout for the Monogram kit. I want the figures that come with it

Testors, eh? So are you a fellow nostalgia builder? Since I got back into scale modeling a few years ago, I started tracking down a lot of the kits I built as a kid, almost all Monogram, but also Lindberg, Aurora (gasp!), Pyro/Life-Like. I do have some newer kits, too, like AM's F3F, Classic Airframe's F11C and F4B-4, but for me, a lot of building now is remembering how much fun it was when I was a kid. And now, I try to apply things I've learned in the meantime. Of course, there is still so much to learn...
