I paid up a little for the book, but they're hard to find. The kits, though, together were $40. Book was $20 and wouldn't you know, this equaled the $60 I go for Christmas?!
Normally I just chuck the stuff that comes in the mail in the stash but I'm seriously considering starting that TWA bird here real soon. I've been sticking to "small" airliners so far and I'm itching to move into the the more "mid range sized" stuff and what better kit anyway? Besides... paint job... super easy with the entirely red fuselage!
