#modelling

Modelling 1/72 planes, despite the overall smaller size of the model, is often more complex and generally different to 1/48 aircraft. A lot of the details are smaller and its harder to do the weathering to be to scale. Besides, if you have some gaps, they are more noticeable when the model is so small. But, the overall assembly generally takes much less time, so does the painting; models are cheaper and you can fit way more of the small ones on your shelf. And so, the author got his hands on the 1/72 Tamiya F4D-1 kit tooled back in 1998.
