Thats still one thing I dont get... That theres more interest in smaller scaled models... When I was a kid and built models, I dont ever recall building anything smaller than 1/32... I did a F-14 and F-15 in 1/24th scale and that was no big deal.....
I still dont get it, but I understand that there are more small scale kits available...
1/48, in my opinion, are just too small for most airplanes. My brother has a 1/48 Mustang, and it's tiny, not a ton you can do with it. The only 1/48 I have really are my CF-18, F-15 and P-61, but they're large, so you don't notice it as much.
