I saw a 1:48 B-17 and a 1:48 B-29 at Hobby Lobby. They want like 50$ for the -29 and 40$ for the -17! It's crazy!
They make 1/24 scale models of certain fighters.

On the other hand I disagree. I've always thought 1/72 was just about perfect, kind of like H-O for trains. You get something small enough for storage but big enough for fine detailing. Of course the fact that nobody makes a 1/48 scale B-36 or B-52 has some influence.
