Was intrigued by this as I was recently asked to do a Hip by my son. Have the 1/35 Trumpeter, but thought it too big. Has nothing new come out for a 1/48 kit in plastic? My research based on this thread and others (scalemates, too) led me to a resin kit that was IVO USD$200. I'm sure it's great, but for that kind of money, I can just get another 1/35 Trumpeter kit and whatever detail bits I care to put on it.
