It wasn't in the budget! I was busy scrounging money for other large aircraft which, let's face aren't cheap. Then Dave Aiken drops this behemoth in our laps. Damn you Dave....my expensive friend! But I just had to have it. It is a beautiful model and looks great next to the silver Spitfire that I purchased two years ago.The dilemma that Dave and CEO Laura always give us is a win win choice. We can purchase the same aircraft in various sizes, all of which are expertly made. If you are an idiot for these larger models as yours truly is, you curse yourself only until the box arrives....when you see the size and craftsmanship, then it's all worth it! I apologize for this review turning out to be a thesis and a venting. Damn you Dave! p.s. keep them coming.....Alan Clish
