Do you ever purchase another of the same model kit, because you enjoyed the first build so much?

No,not usually,I only have so much modeling time and there are so many subjects.Over the years though I have rebuild some of my older kits that weren’t up to my current standards. So I guess my reasons would be the opposite.

I have done so several times, mostly armor kits. I built the Tamiya 8-ton halftrack, Pak 40 towed gun M3 Lee, and Chieftain Mk.V back in the late 1970s, and have newer boxes of them.

I have built several of the same basic kit quite a few times. Not so much for the enjoyment of the build but more because I wanted to do different versions of that kit… markings, sub variant, fittings, etc. Many kits provide basic build options, and after market often provide many more options.

Well, no besides the Takom Tiger I. But that wasn’t because I enjoyed it a lot, but… Mostly just because of the tank commanders included with them and all. I got all three of the Big Boxes.

Not so much, but I am rebuilding some subjects that I built as a kid and no longer have. Once I’ve gone all out on a particular subject I move on to the next model of interest.

I’ve purchased a few different versions of the same base kit. SKIF makes several versions of the T-55. I saw the box art on these three and had to build them. I built them at exactly the same time. I didn’t think that I could build each kit from start to finish then start the next one all over again, 3 times.

I have done this to replace some models that I had built at some point but no longer have. In those cases they are the exact same kits.
Other than that, I have built variations of the line of aircraft e.g. different 737s, different versions of the F4, A4, F-16 etc. but not the exact same kit.

Yes, but I mostly build automotive subjects. I will buy the same kit and build it numerous different ways.
