Why is it after you build something, you then find awesome plans of what you just built??

Mark, better yet. I scratch-built a Cessna 152 in 1:48 scale because I couldn’t find a kit for it. Then, not even a whole month after I finished it, I found an inexpensive kit for a 1:48 scale Cessna 150. I was so mad.

Well luckily i will not worry about anyone building an alco century unit for atleast 1-2 years, so I won’t have that problem
