weird i know but thats me

Maybe you mean 'us' and not 'me'! Ha!

I assumed everyone does this, I certainly do, make a few notes of my build plan in pencil on the instruction sheet, I very rarely build out of the box so sometimes I have to wonder why I bought the thing!

It's kind of satisfying to fondle the plastic and study the instructions with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit or two, and then burying it in the stash for an unspecified length of time safe in the knowledge it's ready for that metaphorical rainy day!

Nope, I'm the same, gotta have a quick look inside to make sure its all there, etc.....

[minitnkr]

Always check upon arrival to make sure all is OK.

[Geoffers]

I generally have a look but keep the bag sealed. Mainly because I quite often sell on kits that I’ve lost interest in.

I must admit I have a had a quick look in the box to make sure it's all ok but I usually keep the bags sealed, just in case any bits have fallen off. In this case I think I had to put it away quick before SWMBO noticed it......

[PaulTRose]

I have that kit and didn't know that folded wings was an option.... cool!!!

So theres a question to everybody

You must have bought the kit and just chucked it on to the stash pile

My habit is sit down and look thro the sprues for any problems.....read the instructions to see what options there are......look at the paint/decal options even tho it might be months or years before i build it.......work out if i need any paint.......generally just fondle the plastic lol

weird i know but thats me

Am i the only one to do this or does everyone just add the box to the stash without looking inside it?

[adt70hk]
