JB leads all 5 of us as we talk about the upcoming 2026 Edition of the 48 in 48 Global Group Build and fundraiser to benefit Models for Heroes the weekend of March 20, 2026. We also do a Modelfiesta Wrap Up, talk about our visits to The Model Box in Boerne, Texas and Lionheart Hobby in Kyle, Texas, and finally a summary of a GREAT model show - Winterblitz - located at the Museum of the American GI in College Station. 

JB also leads us in two discussion points - lessons learned when moving across different genres, and also why are Vintage kits so popular? All of the hosts have strong opinions on this one, and that end of things, one side prevails - either the practicality or new, better kits, or the nostalgia and romance of vintage kits. Tune in to see which side came out on top!
