Now class, there have been several of you who have asked (offline) '...In the Laws (of Modeling) introduction , why is the Rosemont Atlee 1/48 scale pilot the best value?'

Simply put 'it fills the hole' where some modelers would rather replace aircraft cockpit details
(because their 'Fiddly' or wind up in the 'Black Hole') with a pilot figure. We are not forgetting the daredevils who model in 1/72. Its just that with Preiser of Germany and their spares from the standard Airfix, Revell or the old New Hope Design figures the 1/72 scale modeler's have a wider variety of choices.
