Probably close on 40 years ago I built a 1/48 scale B25 Mitchell. It seemed a nice enough kit but I ended up butchering the insides a bit to get some weight in it so it would stand on the tricycle undercarriage then my Dad damaged it as soon as it was finished then 2 or 3 years later it was damaged again in a house move. I repainted it eventually but then the cockpit canopy was damaged and since then it has gradually been neglected. The easy option, and probably the cheaper option, would have been to replace it but instead I bought some new glazing, new cockpit interior and fresh decals and still neglected it for a good while. However a few months back I finally decided to rebuild it. Probably not the most accurate version out there but getting it looking OK again has given a certain satisfaction.
