KP's 1/48th scale SIAI SF-260TP - Kit KPM4814

All main kit parts are on one sprue. Unfortunately, the one piece lower wing tore off the sprue tree:

Lots of easy, but avoidable, work to repair the gouges left when the lower wing tore off due to rough handling of the package...

From Bug Smasher to Squatter Swatter. Does KP make a 1/72 scale version?
That's just cool!

Does KP make a 1/72 scale version?

Indeed they do. many more choices too. I get a feeling this was simply pantographed up in size. All the details included look better in the smaller scale. However, with the closed canopy, it is more than enough.

I never make it easy on myself!

Wheel wells are too shallow, an object of pantographing up a 72nd scale model to 1/48th scale.
