THANK YOU ALL.

So as to the topic decision was it decided as a Pacific build or a Tamiya ?

TBH I love Tamiya. It suits my MO. Call me lazy but I like new tool kits from manufacturers who know how to engineer a kit for the builder. Their 1/32 Corsair and Mustang are absolute miracles of engineering. The inner wing section of the Corsair is possibly the most beautifully designed sub-assembly I have ever seen.

I'm in your camp, life is too short to mess with horrible old ill fitting kits and the stash is never going to get built if I don't impose some restrictions upon myself.

True. I need to have a purge too.
However - if we go for a Tamiya theme I just got hold of their 1/48 IL-2!!

I haven’t even looked for something yet, but yes finding a Tamiya in the stash is easy
