5. Before you turn in for the night you check on your airplanes but not your kids.
6. You have new models delivered to the office so you can smuggle 'em past The Wife

7, when you talk to people it only takes you 2 minutes to steer the conversation onto aviation.

8. When you Pre-order a model a year before it comes out.

9. When you apply for a credit card to feed your diecast hunger.

10. You see their eyes glaze over as you're explaining the difference between a FW-190A and a FW-190D, yet you have to finish telling them ANYWAY!

Re: You know you're hooked if...

When you're telling your 'audience': ( 12 )

" The 251 Hannomag in " Band of Brothers ", remember, just after Carentan, has to be a post-war hybrid because the rear doors are from the 251 C whereas the sides are flush and could only be from a 251 D so what's the deal here?

Are they trying to say that it's a 251 C or a 251 D, or is it a 251 C which they're trying to pass of as a 251 D but forgot about the doors?

Don't these people care?

And the Stug! Don't get me started on that. Well, I mean, it's obvious that they've used a T34 as a base, but not a bad job on the............

Hey, wake up, I'm talking to you! "

14. When your package comes, you tell your wife its tools and you go to the
shed to open your new order of diecast planes.
