I've sorta stated this off and on for all the time I've been offering my opinion on this forum. The modeling is leaving model railroading. I have gotten back into R/C lately and the same thing is happening there. More ready to fly or almost ready to fly airplanes are available than kits. I don't think it's that people don't have the time to model anymore, they simply choose to use their available free time for other endeavors. However, if you like doing something, you will make time for it. I believe modeling (making models as opposed to buying ready made) will eventually die out as a hobby. If this means the hobby itself will die out, remains to be seen. It may simply be a shift in what the hobby is. However, with all the great stuff being offered, I think now is a great time to be in the hobby.
