Ham Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Ummm...is it just me, or do the props have the blades the wrong way. Those appear to be left hand (cockpit perspective) props. That's a big flaming model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stan Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Get Christmas over then start saving. On current rate approx £166. Unless Mr Revell pips them at the post Dream come true for me but the rivet counters at Hyperscale are out in force this morning. Fighting has resumed as normal.

Mentalguru Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) I really really didn't need this right now. I just wish I could see the B-25 in the box BEFORE I buy, and BEFORE they are all sold, so I can make a purchasing decision based on how far this company's products are removed from Trumpeter/Hobbytoss the overall kit is. I.e. fidelity of scale, finesse of moulding with regard to overall presentation etc. Edited December 4, 2010 by Mentalguru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Ok - just where in gods name do you put a model that size when its finished?? I have to hand it to you 1/32nd scale fans - you seem to be gettng loads of goodies to play with. But do you all live in mansions? Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 As a dedicated 1/32 scale modeller I'm amazed by this but it is far too big for me, I would have to build it and bin it, shame. Cheers Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonar Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I'd love to have a go at one. If one started taking shape in my den the wife would think I was planning a Colditz style escape....gliding over the back garden,clearing the fence only to crash into the river short of my landing ground!

Skii Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Looks faaaantastic, just a bit too big for my personal taste - the Revell 1/48 G is plenty big enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Ogilvie Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) Not quite - although I do have access to one I already have two versions of Doug Feeney's ID Models B-17s in the loft - a very early one with the original fin and an F/G. This will make things a *lot* quicker - and I think I may need two - one as a G and one to convert back using the ID Models back end From http://www.aviation-history.com : Iain Edited December 4, 2010 by Iain (32SIG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy K Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I've just looked at the pics...STREWTH THAT THING IS BIG! I'm not a B17 expert by any means but that looks really nice. Hmmm...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz greenwood Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Be nice if they did a B-24 to go alongside the B-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I could be tempted by a B25 if they did the 8 gun hard nose version. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 (edited) I could be tempted by a B25 if they did the 8 gun hard nose version.Pete You mean like these: North American B-25J Mitchell "Gunship" and North American B-25H Mitchell "Gunship" Liberator would be ace - but I'm really looking forward to the Invader (I have a started Vietnam B-26K vac somewhere in the loft)!

Smiffy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Well, I wanna get one of the Gun Nose Mitchells, but a 32nd B-17?. Nahh. Too big. As for a 32nd Liberator...have you any idea what the wingspan would be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a 32nd Liberator...have you any idea what the wingspan would be? Gimme a chance to get in the loft with a tape measure and I'll tell you! It's all relative - I've got used to big models I think. Bought an Airfix 1:48 Lightning a few months ago for reference - and it looks sooooo dinky!

Smiffy Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of the larger model (arf arf). I have stuff like a 48th B-1B, loads of 32nd Phantoms and Tomcats, as well as a lot of 24th scale aircraft and sci-fi stuff. I just think 32nd scale heavy bombers are a bit too impractical. How would you display one of these buggers?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Jephcott Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Oh no... I must resist it... but I can't... that looks beautiful... but think of the money... but it's incredible!... but what would you do with it when you're building it? You don't even have the space to put it on the desk!! Crumbs... I want it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I gotta get me one of those! I can feel the urge to build A Bit O' Lace in a very big scale. If it's released as predicted (August 2011), it'll be in time for the USAAF Europe 1942-1945 Group Build in 2012! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Roberts Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Heard that it'll have individual .50 cal rounds and a scale belting machine sweet jeezus I honestly never thought I'd EVER see a 32nd Fort. You'd have to make sure you'd hang it from a joist on your ceiling. A scary memory of a Monogram Fort getting shot from The sky ...errr.. falling out of my ceiling in the middle of the night as a kid - right onto my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
