Here they are again with those small 1:144 scale kits. I have the highest respect for those modellers that can make these things look as if in a much larger scale. I never dared myself tackling one of these.

Drabslab,
You echoed my thoughts exactly. With only one eye, I can't imagine working in 1/144 scale and not screwing up the kit royally. Yet I'm looking forward to seeing how those that can model in that scale turn this kit into a little gem.

I have seen a few done at shows, and I have to agree, the people who work in this scale amaze me in how well they build and paint these.
