$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 though :lashed:

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.

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.

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.

I've stored a couple 1/32 scale plane, a P-40 and an He-162...I consider them more like flagship models
