Do you guys think it's just personal preference, or could it be a generational thing as well? My generation has often been cited as needing *instant gratification* and I think to an extent that's true. But I also know that my interests in the hobby are more operation oriented and while I enjoy the gratification of building a structure from parts, it's not the kind of high I get from a good operating session. Hence I've built kits I was either really interested in making or only came in kit form, and buy pre-built for stuff when I can. So my own experience may be that it's just personal preference. Your mileage may vary. EDIT: I should add that the prebuilts I buy I always re-paint and weather. So I guess for me it's the finishing touches that I find fun, the laborious construction, not so much. I've already proven to myself that I can build a kit. I guess beyond that it doesn't hold my interest as much as other aspects of the hobby. Jawbone
