Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Nope, I haven't really got room for one, though most people only need room for the box which should fit in the attic nicely Just hang it on a wall like a friend of mine does with his larger models 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomprobert Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) It is a big huge model - here it is compared to a 1/72nd Lancaster: I must confess I do fancy another - the Qatar scheme is a stunner.

172flogger Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 It is a big huge plane. But only about 10 meter larger compared with the A400M: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pauly Block Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) It is a big huge plane. But only about 10 meter larger compared with the A400M: This photo, according to people that I know is apparently an Airbus marketing image with the A-400 positioned to make it look as big as the C-17. Personally I hope that Kinetic do a good job of this cause I can't wait to get my grubby hands on it! Edited July 4, 2016 by Pau H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollie Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I was hoping Revell would do one since they pumped out a few large 1/72 models in the past 10 years (Shack, A400M, C-160, C-54) but I'll gladly buy the Kinetic kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 The c-17 is much larger than the a400m, which is saying something as that is massive 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypnobear Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Would certainly make a very impressive, if grey, model! Any guesses as to what the price will be? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
