if you're only getting one then go ahead and get a 1/48. If you are interested in building a collection then get the 1/60s version 2. The 1/48s are almost completely out of production but a lot of people are dumping theirs to get the 1/60s. But don't let that fool you, the 1/48s are great pieces of art. Once the dust settles these babies are gonna be worth a lot plus if you handle one right after you handle a 1/60, you know you got your money's worth. I like them both... I plan on completing both collections.
