Well if you are going to start with aircraft, might as well go big - and this definitely will be big. Good luck and welcome to the fabulous flying circus!

would need to be hung from the ceiling as no actual real estate anywhere else lol

Wow, what a big entry into planes...nice. For a 1/72 kit, it has big enough parts to make the transition from cars. Not so painful but beware that it is a 34 year old kit re-boxed from Ertl days so I would suggest some dry fitting before hand. Hope the plastic is thick enough for certain areas to prevent warpage which occasionally happen to big old kits and depending on Italeris plastic molding. Ertl used to be in hard silver plastic...I've seen some in white. Italeri tends to be softer. What colour is the plastic in Kaci?
Anyway if you don't rush this, it will be a nice one hanging from the ceiling wheels up.

Cheers,

Haven't bought it yet. But appears to be moulded in light grey plastic
