Re: LARGE Scale Jets Discussion
$50 and 1/72 just should not be in the same sentence... unless you're talking about a ship in 1/72....

I have to say I hadn't noticed that when I looked - anything over £15-00 for me and I start to go green - $50-00 wow. i bet it's a nice kit thoughJimD wrote:I'd pay $50 for one of those U-Boats by Revell...lol...not for an airplane. I thought the prices on the 1/72 Hasegawa F-14s was high...wow.

Re: LARGE Scale Jets Discussion
1/32 is certainly impressive,especially some of the great work I have seen here,it's just to big for me,would run out of space too quickly.I have built 1/48 A/C of all kind.My last two were a Mig 29 and a Me 109 Trop.1/72 is just a little small for me.
Just like I enjoy looking at 1/16 armor and 1/200 ships,I have just avoided it do to space and price.

Re: LARGE Scale Jets Discussion
I'm with Tojo, I typically only build 1/48 modern jets; however, I will go to 1/32 when building WWII prop. The only 1/72 kit I currently have is the P-3...may be 1/72, but its as big as most 1/48 fighters.
Re: LARGE Scale Jets Discussion
1/32 is a real conundrum for me. I can see what I'm doing in 1/32, but then I start thinking....hey that could use some ......., bet the undercarriage could ........., that engine....well you know.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Re: LARGE Scale Jets Discussion
I've stored a couple 1/32 scale plane, a P-40 and an He-162...I consider them more like flagship models
Every take-off has a landing...some are just better than others
