Just a quick check, I was in a local hobby shop yesterday and was greatly confused by the size of the Italeri A-4 Skyhawk box, it was quite large but had printed on it "1:72 Scale"

On closer inspection I found that the actual scale of the model is 1:48 but seems to be misprinted on the side.

Has anyone else noticed this?

Is the price of 48' or 72'? It is funny, though. However, my friend from Croatia experienced something similar with Italeri. The box said one thing, but inside was completely different aircraft. However, the scale was correct
