1:72 or 1:48 scale ??

Hi again folks. Thanks for the insights. I have gotten underway on my MiG build at 1/48. t is great practice getting back into the hobby and I can do a build before worrying about rigging! :)
On another note is I am finding my fine motor dexterity, and ability to handle small parts, isn't what it used to be. Still I find it fun. I doubt I will be able to build with the skill and detail of other folks here.
I have given it more thought and I think I want to try a 1/72 WWI build next. The smaller scale intruiges me.

Excellent to hear! Except about your dexterity. Here are a few examples that should be easily assembled with excellent fit and accuracy. Fairly low cost as well. I have no association with the eBay sellers, only took screen shots to post.
The Smer Dr.1. is actually the Edward kit re-boxed. Great accuracy and fit of parts. Only downside is the one decal option.
The Revell triplane is also excellent. You have to watch for the most recent re-tooled version #04116. I personally think it’s the best 1/72 version available straight out of the box.
The Edward D-VII is a little more pricey but well worth all the extra parts and decals to add to the spare parts bin.

Awesome, thanks.
I just ordered the Fokker DR.1!
