A large model with all of the contours of the real thing and a super detailed engine. O.K., you need more skill and time to come to a satisfying result in paper modeling, but we donīt build to get a model finished. The fun is in the building process itself.

Yes I agree. For some reason I enjoy shrinking down the big ones. I did a 1/33 Nieuport 11 and then a 1/100 version. To me the 1/100 version is just as neat as the big one.
