Same here, all the bagged kits go in tubs with long ones lengthwise, short ones upright. However, the ones I place horizontally are laid on edge, like a shelf of library books. I usually stack a second row on top with the card edges indexed between the kits below. Wide packaging like the Space Shuttle, early Star Wars kits, etc. won't get a second level.
