You are a masochist! All that crazy riveting! :shocked:

1/72 is easier, I think. It's still all the same number of rivet lines...but the lines aren't as long...less room to screw up with the rivet wheel. Downside...if ya do mess up just a tiny bit, it shows.


Spent ALL day, yesterday...from 1am - 11pm, playing with models!
Got the Kingfishers and Corsair painted, glossed and decaled (did some decals on the BIG 27 too)...
