LOL! You sound like the typical modeler. We all do it and I've just spent the last month doing it. I've built a/c for over 30 yrs and just decided, on a whim, that I wanted to become an armor modeler. I've bought roughly 15 kits in the last month along with the appropriate track sets, dry transfers, barrels, diorama materials, and books.

I have an M4 early Sherman and a StuG IIIG underway at the same time. I am already beginning to want to move onto another kit. LOL

I have discovered that armor modeling is no different than a/c modeling. Instead of just building a basic kit for fun you have to spend extra time and effort to correct things and add on "after-market" items. All of the sudden it becomes a chore.

I plan to finish these two tanks, in time, and then I hope to move onto one of my SPG's, either my Wespe or my Hummel IIIM. In any case, I know the modeler blues quite well.
