I’ve been a long time model collector, I bought all types and scales. I decided to dive into 1/144 plastic kits and built them myself as I’d done ships in the past. They came out unbelievable way better than any Gemini jets or those big 1/100 scale resin ones. Yeah it took a few months to build paint and decal, but the results were well worth it. Plus you can customize it any way you want. If you like having a little project that you can spend 30 minutes a day working on, I highly recommend. And once you build one the next one is just that much easier. Pro tip, buy two sets of decals as you will mess the first one up.
