for 30 bucks you could get a cheap stick it together model not a real glue it paint it actually put work into it model.
Actually no
On a budget of $40 i was able to buy an Air France die-cast model (it's a beauty, special edition) and a New York Air all metal model.
They're small, but great. Also, it's not about putting it together. I'd rather not actually do that. I'm only into what it looks like after.
