I recognize a myriad of these observations, having been involved in collecting WWII 1:72, commercial 1:144, & 1:200 since around 2001 or so.

I lost interest when the cost of shipping went stupid. Until this year, I hadn't added anything to my collections for around 6-7 years. But what I did buy, BOTH of them, pretty much brought my modest collections to a pleasant close. What were they you ask?!

• Corgi 1:72 Mosquito (Parry's—been after Corgi on DAF for that for years). I like it a lot, even with the minor niggles.
• AC200 1:200 Canadian Pacific Airlines DC-8-43. STUNNING!

And now I just periodically hang around the forums. Nice.
