One of the perks to these stores however is that they are almost always offering a 40% off coupon which can drop a $40 USD 1:48 F-15E Strike Eagle kit down to $24 ... not a bad deal. On occasion however, they drop a 50% off coupon on you and even more rarely, as they did this past week, an uber coupon of 60% off any single item. And while only one store offered the 60% coupon the other always matches so it's essentially 60% off both stores!!
Needless to say I made a couple of trip to both AC Moore and Michael's and gave those coupons a work out!

| The haul! |
These will be great for me since I am a beginner. It made buying the same kit affordable so I can either build it twice or have one in store for later or spares. Great practoce projects. The YF-22 is actually a pretty decent kit. It will give me something to practice painting on and, since I have two of those as well, I will try some scratch building on the cockpit to see if I can add some details there.
Anyway I thought I would share my find!
Now ... I guess I had better get to building something ...
