Found a kit that I bought a long time ago, but completely forgot about. 

I was looking in old kit boxes for something, when I spotted a Sterling Baby Ringmaster kit box that I thought had scrap balsa inside. Opened it, and found a complete kit! Then it suddenly came back to me that I had started this kit years ago, but found the slotted LE piece was cracked, so I put it all away until I could find some replacement stock. Never found the right size stock, and eventually forgot about the kit.

Parts have been carefully cut from the die cut sheets, and sanded lightly to remove rough edges. They parts were carefully repacked, and look as nice as laser cut parts, but without the burned edges. The LE was carefully repaired with Titebond, and is smooth and straight. If I weren't such a darn perfectionist, I would have built it that way. 

Anyway, I've been watching eBay to get an idea of kit values, and even searched the closed sales, but found nothing. I'd like to build one of these for old times sake, but could easily scratch build one to preserve this kit, or buy one of Pat's fine kits.

What do you think, should I build this Sterling kit, or..........?

If you need the hobby money put it on eBay.
If you want to build it for old time sake build the kit using nothing but 1955 style glue silks span etc.
If you want the best in a flyable Ringmaster go for a Pat kit.

Or you could keep it unbuilt and dream of the good old days.
