Well done Sir 
I do enjoy your threads and look forward to more albeit my daughter now thinks yours are better than my efforts
I know yours are, but she doesn't need to know that!
Do you ever build large scale or is your preferred genres small, fine scale?
Ta very much. I do like 1:72 scale - it's what I grew up with I suppose. I've won two first places at model shows on consecutive years, but both were 1:32 (Bf 109 and SE.5a). I do enjoy your threads and look forward to more albeit my daughter now thinks yours are better than my efforts

The thing about 1:72 scale is that you can build OOB with no extras and, assuming it's a decent kit, it can potentially look as good as a super detailled job at anything more than about a metre away. the larger the scale, the more detail you need to include for the same effect. Then of course there's the space issue...
On balance maybe 1:48 is a good compromise, hence the current popularity of that scale. Someone gave me a Hasegawa F-22 in 1:48, so I will see how it looks (eventually).
I look forward to that one and keep up the good work
Have you got any model pics to post??
Too much work and no play makes hohoho a dull boy!
I'm busy rebuilding a shed in my garden (see thread re woodsheds in gardens etc.) but I have a 747 NASA Spaceshuttle carrier 1:44 and 1:48 Merc Gullwing sitting in my study looking at me and begging to be ruined!
However, electrics done today in the shed, bit more feather edging, couple of doors more and Bob's your uncle - shed done
Then I'm away until the end of November and then it's Christmas and still no time to build
