Uh John, that won't work unless you mention RARE. D'oh....
I vote to save. Just because. I rebuild most wrecks as the pieces already fit! Not saying it makes sense, it's just what I do, and you asked. I reckon this is one election where my one vote might, just might, matter.
I made a classic legal chipmunk out of a half poorly built super chipmunk. Even lowered the wing to the correct position. Would have been SO MUCH easier to just scratch build one, I just figured the old girl didn't want to die having never been finished or flown... Models have feelings too.
Cheers,
Mike
