Ultra detailed model kit

[Captain4W]

I'm getting back into modeling after a long hiatus, and I have been looking for my first kit. I want a kit that seriously detailed because I don't want to finish it in a week. You see, I'm retired and I have nothing but time, so the more complicated it is the better. I have been looking at getting a Tamiya 1/48 P-51D and purchasing all the Aires stuff to go with it, and with this in mind my question arose. Does anyone make ultra detailed model kits? When I say ultra detailed I mean like what I have explained, a kit with ultra realism, photo etched parts, resin parts, real seat belts, etc...

You night want to look @ https://www.model-space.com/gb/model-planes.html
Lots of bits , not cheap , but may need to check reviews.

Just checked the website and looked at their videos of the cockpit build. Some really great detail but - no seatbelts! Why?

How about something like the zoukei mura kits? Their Horten 229 flying wing in 1/32 or 1/48 is a very detailed kit containing a full framework onto which you can attach the outer panels just like a real airframe ( or build it and leave it skeletal ) their Dornier 335 pfeil in 1/32 looks to be a box crammed with hundreds of parts too. http://www.zoukeimura.co.jp/en/products/sws08_Ho229horten.html

Is it just me, or is a kit like that somewhat pointless? Sure, it’s really cool to have all that detail, but almost none of it will show if you build the whole aircraft complete … For a diorama of the Horten factory, with figures shown assembling the plane, sure, this kit is ideal. If you leave the exterior transparent you’ll also show a lot of the insides, but a transparent aircraft looks kind of funny to me.

I'm not super crazy about the Horten, but I do like their P-51 and I think it's almost exactly what I'm looking for, Thank you.
