I throw mine out. My wife won't let me devote too much space to my hobby and I therefore have to make some sacrifices. It would be nice to keep them though - some of the box artwork is good.

Yah I keep mine - There's always misc. leftover parts which sometimes come in handy when building other kits, so I keep them in the boxes too.

I keep the box top with the cover art and hang them on the wall above the built model itself. Takes a lot space though. I've only built about 10, and I'm running out of room.

As i'm just a newbie on this modelling business, I have only 2 boxes, but I guess I'll keep them all from now on
