I don't think this hobby is for the average Joe. I counted 17 quality models announced in the past week (not counting Dragon, Phoenix, etc). If priced at $26.95 each that would come to $458.15. I'm only interested in 9, so that comes to only $242.55 plus shipping (assuming they're all priced that cheap).

Last month with the Braniff 9-pack, Chinese IL-76s and a few others I spent close to $400.

I have a feeling the upcoming propjets will be the reworked Electras, which I've been eagerly awaiting over a year.

My only hope is that all the guys with extra cash, trust funds or sugar parents won't get to them for a couple of months. Who has this kind of money every month?
It never ends does it?...and I am beginning to also think this is a "gentleman's hobby."
