Radleigh Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 The fuselage and wings are fibreglass so in reality its not a huge amount of plastic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Big it may be, but sooner or later someone's going to start going on about how they wish it was 1/48th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madoc Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Well, until someone releases a H-1 Hercules in injected plastic form then they're all pretty damn big! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radleigh Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Looks loads different to the original IL-76, injection nose section, underside, seperate tail.... Order placed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Aye, that they do - in their traditional fiberglass & plastic treatment. When someone goes to the trouble of rendering a fully injection moulded kit then that will be THE standard to beat... AModel have already done the Hughes Hercules.
