Thanks I'm new to alot of this I have some experience from child hood and, I attempted a few ships recently everything from basic to detailed and what I've found is if I'm looking for detail stick to the bigger scales as my hands and skills don't handle the finer tiny parts as careful as I'd like, I tried to reproduce a ship I served on the USS Kearsarge in 1/700 with a photo etch upgrade set and man was that a night mare I got it done but I fought with it for months and in the end still wasn't as happy with it as I wished it could have been.

After that ship I bought some model kits that were on clearance from hobby lobby so I could build some practice like this USS Missouri [ATTACH=full]93730[/ATTACH]
That I tried my hand at razzle dazzle.. though I learned after words things would have went much smoother if I learned some tricks I now know before I assembled it. The kit its self wasnt that great it was a weird 1/534 scale and the parts lacked alot of detail but it was 4.50 on clearance so I gave it a shot.
Aircraft I was assuming would require similar upscaling for ease of building but then again I have a feeling I still have alot to learn.
Some of my bucket list kits are the Kingfisher, the Super Scooper, The 1/350 USS Alaska CB1 (the detail up kits on that set are double the cost of the model) and the USS New Jersey Tamiya kit 1/350
