Well, it's a relief that they are out there in 1/35. 1/48 is just too small for this one, but if I can find one of those first, I guess I'll have to go with it.
That's the trouble now though, these things are hard to find! I've sent and email to Rare-plane Detective and am waiting on a response. Are there any other places (other than ebay) that might carry the MD-530 kits?
Thanks for you help, everyone!
