Thankfully, the military budget isn't classified at our house! My wife enjoys reading, so she isn't bothered by my disappearing into "the hole" on our days off. She appreciates my builds, although not as much as when I was building bikes and autos! I have to admit, I still cringe and usually pass when it comes to spending extra on some of the aftermarket stuff, but in my car building days, it wasn't uncommon to buy and raid 4-5 kits, plus buying paint, wheels, tires and PE to complete ONE vehicle. One point about armor modeling is you usually get more for your money, the more recent releases have as many pieces just in the tracks as most car models!

There have been many thought provoking responses here, thanks for asking this question Bob!

Good, I'm glad to see these answers. I'm not as crazy as I thought I was for buying a kit to get 3 parts out of it.
