Check out the FAQs or ask on the boards over at Starship Modeler , I hang around there quite a bit and everyone is more than happy to help.
I found this awesome set on Squadron.com for those of us that have yet to get a 1/48, I think I may pick this one up.
It's a hasegawa set,, BUT it's in 1/72!
I want it either for my MPCs or 1/60s, I think 1/72 is close enough that it will look ok, and if it doesn't I can always grab a 1/72 model (Maybe a VF-0, in a low vis paint scheme...sigh)
