Yeah, but once you build one, it'll ruin you for everything else. I was first given one as a kid, around 1970 or so, and it opened a whole new world to me. The size, the quality of the parts...
Nowadays, 1/8th scale is the holy grail. Believe it or not, you can spend thousands on a kit and related "transkits," which offer a level of detail unimaginable in my youth. Of course, you need hundreds, if not thousands, of hours to build one properly.
I have a bunch saved up in my warehouse, if I ever finish all of the crap on my to-do list and can afford to spend time building models again.
