FAA plane builder
Generally, at my preferred scale of 1/72, scratch building is out of the question as it's just too small to be reasonable. Particularly inside cockpits where it is likely to never be seen, even by me!
I never start a model with the intention of scratch building, rather get in to it if I think the model will benefit from it or to replace something I have clumsily broken off. I'll also only undertake the work if: a) I think I can do it, 2) it improves the model, D) if I will enjoy the work.
None of my family or friends are interested in my modelling so I do it purely for my own satisfaction.
