Head in the clouds. Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 As the title suggest this model is next up for Plastic Fantastic in 1/144 scale so all those interested in 'what if', cancelled or paper projects will love this one as they say it is the first time this aircraft has been modelled. http://fantastic-plastic.com/vickers-type-c-giant-bomber-project---catalog.html Looks good to me, a bit pricey but a very individual model. Should I ? Gary 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 No. I would not love it as it isn't in my preferred scale - 72nd. Yes, I am fully aware of the size and yes, I want one in 72nd. 144th is for girls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to do it as an RAAF MR aircraft, with the extended nose ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Callahan Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Gotta agree. 1/72 or nothing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Call me a girl then but for reasons of cost & display space as well as stash storage I reckon 1/144 makes a lot of sense for this sort of thing. Too spendy for me though anyway. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightersweep Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 ....I admit it! I was building an Avro Lincoln and didn't follow the instructions (Actually, I remember when we put out British Secret Projects Bombers at Midland Counties and thought that this looked quite cool on the cover. so nice to see a kit!)

Head in the clouds. Posted May 25, 2017 Author Share Posted May 25, 2017 I would like 1/72 but who would do such a project, and when? If 1/144 is the only game in town then I had better dust off my floral skirt😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightersweep Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 ICMF; Priceless! Could you copy and paste that into every thread on the Rumourmonger forum. That would certainly cover all of the bases then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britman Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 It may be a bit tedious, but I find it interesting to see what scale modelers prefer. I for one actually build 32nd, 48th a few 72nd and a sizeable collection in 144th! No pun intended. ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee slacking off again.. an old Airfix B-29 for wings, couple of old Lancs for the fuselage and UC bits, and some cloned up Lincoln or Lanc Merlin 85 cowlings and your good to go Props might take some sourcing though... A couple of evenings work for a man of your talents.... for those who think the above is all joke, have a look at this build of a 1/48th B-32 Dominator http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Gal13/12601-12700/gal12646-B-32-Asher/00.shtm Quote After studying the plans, I came to the conclusion that I would need the following kits: two Monogram 1/48 B-29s, two Monogram B-24s (D or J, no matter) and a 1/72 B-36. cheers T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 I've got some 72nd scale plans somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
