"Adult assembly" that's a subliminal message.............................. requires a six year old to attend!
 
But you have to be able to see and can't be shaking when building, or they'll fly off into Mr. CARPET MONSTER!
 
All kits have small parts and I admit that most of my GB's are missing something. These kits have proportionally fewer small parts so that is an advantage. I know that 1/48 is far more popular here and I am always in awe of the results that I see. I've always felt that my model skills were at best only adequate and besides the cost and space aspects, the smaller model would somehow "hide" my mistakes just because they were smaller. There is also a smaller time commitment since there is less seam filling, construction and paint area. Back in the 70's I did build some 1/48 WWII fighters and there were a few that I gave up on because of the complexity and the number of errors that accumulated. I play a game with myself as I start each new project; "so far, this is PERFECT", until it isn't. As far as seeing, I still have pretty good eyesight plus I have a magnifying lamp my Mom had.
 
Down in PG today and as I was getting low in "modelling" Q-Tips I really stocked up. These are identical to what Tamiya sells; many use them to remove Tamiya Panel Liner as regular Q-Tips leave fibres behind....so I've read.

This lot cost me 29.95$ plus tax for 600 swabs. A Canadian online shop sells the Tamiya version for 5.99$ for 50 swabs. You would need to buy 12 packages of Tamiya to equal what I bought at a cost of 71.88$ plus tax
