My calculations haven't given me a result yet! Honest, I don't want to know
what I just spent and haven't done the math. I do know it is close to what I
spent on my last car... I really did consider it an investment though. The
kits and plans are exquisite! I ordered the Jenny as I had 'needed' one since
they were released and I didn't want to miss the last kit. When it arrived it
was so impressive I had to get the D-Va just for the experience of opening the
box. Truly, it was that impressive!!

Believe me they weren't really within my grasp either but I felt compelled to
move on this unique opportunity that was fast disappearing. A few years ago I
let a full-scale Tiger Moth for $17,000 slip through my fingers and have been
kicking myself ever since. I didn't want to repeat the same mistake. I will be
paying for these kits, in terms of lifestyle sacrifices, for a long time. not
as long as the Moth though. that would have permanently changed my lifestyle...

*This is good news! Let's hope the D-Va meets with the same fate!
