I wanted to build something big to be hanged to my ceiling and I stumbled into this Phantom. I like Phantoms and as you can weather German Phantoms a lot this was perfect for me. I knew this wouldn't be perfect as a Phantom and as I looked the instructions before I bought this I thought it was like the 1/72 kit. And I was rignt: it was like scaled up 1/72 model and I had built 1/72 one and kind of knew what it would need to be acceptable for me. I really liked this, it was just what I thought, too large to handle and needed some upgrades to look decent, but a joy to weather.
