| Howdy Richard, Well fortunately for me, have a 1:48th scale herc, i do have two 1:72 versions though and I have built the model many times before so i believe the assembly wouldnt take too long, however them darn stripes take forever lol. I am not sure if the 1:48th scale herc is a "upsized" 1:72 scale or not (same parts, just larger). But, I wont be finding out anytime soon, the 1:48 they have at the hobby shop is a cool $100.00 with taxes I am looking at the better part of $110.00. But I am looking seriously at doing the herc soon, i go back to work on the 7th of april. have a good day, Greg |
