Glad you're enjoying it chaps.
On the scale front we decided to try it having first tried it with a 1/72 biplane for VBCW... it verges on the cartoony but covers the gaming bases- it works, it looks right, it's cheap* and there's an enormous range of craft available in that scale which either don't exist in 1/48th or are prohibitively expensive.
*This saving must be spent on lead immediately of course.
