Combine the two like a 1:72 kit of an XB-70 or Tu-22 and you're talking ~$100 for the kit alone, not to mention proper brushes, solvents, paints, etc. But there is a real difference between assembling a detailed resin-cast model of an aircraft and finishing it out correctly and snapping together LEGO blocks per step-by-step instructions. I would respect an actual MODEL build of some Star Wars spaceship for that skill alone.</blockquote>
