I would only get this at 1:72 scale. There's no use getting it for the 1:48 because there isn't a lot of detail and only looks good in one mode. There's a huge difference between this and say, a Thunder Hammer, a GBP, or the Stampede where it only works in one mode but is loaded with detail, moveable and removeable parts and doesn't take up as much space. (On that note, I wouldn't get a stampede anyway, cuz it's butt ugly.)
