Zero

Heller 1/72nd scale Japanese Zero.

I used to shop at kit collectors shows in Southern California.

For years I purchased aircraft to build once I retired.

I seldom paid more than $2 for a single seat aircraft.  Mostly they were in zip lock bags.  The kit collectors wanted the boxes often not the kits.

Now I am building the models one at a time at first.  Then once I got a few of the kits put together I built them two at a time.
