Yes. I have tossed a few half-built projects when newer kits are released. For example a Tamiya early Tiger I, I now used it as a painting test-bed.

I think it's OK and perhaps healthy to toss projects that are going nowhere. To continue spending time and money on something that won't be as good and will take more time to complete than starting over is an anti-pattern.

Paul.
