Forty Rod, keep in mind you have to paint these figures. The 1/48 scale is 100% 1/48. They are more difficult to paint as they are small. I prefer the 1:43.5 scale, a tad larger and easier to paint. Additionally, the features are clearer and very realistic. I introduced Alan, Model-U to this forum and others. If you have questions, you'll find Alan to be extremely helpful... I will pass to him, there is some confusion on the scales drop down box menus.... He may be able to adjust that area of his site to make it more user friendly......
