Drabslab I agree with you because I'm limited on space also. The prices are high but at least they are charging 1/35 prices....yet. I think they (1/48 tanks) are alittle easier and less intimidating than the 1/35 for new beginners. But to me I've been building 1/35 off and on since I was a kid so I switched to 1/48 to try and start over and learn how to weather and all the other techniques since I never did that before.
