Hub Plott Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) These are some of the large injection, resin or Vac kits rarely seen built as per an original posting on Hyperscale PT, all 1/48.

FIGHTS ON Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 What a great set of builds - where would you even find the space to store them! I am assuming that the non mainstream kits were a challenge to build, as you say, they are rarely seen on any modelling website Thank you for sharing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huvut76g7gbbui7 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 What a very nice collection. Most of them I have never seen built before. Thanks for posting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 I take it that you have a fairly large apartment? ;-) Amazing collection of B&B (Big'n'Beautiful) models! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL-10 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 WOW! If you have been able to wrestle the FM Halifax & Hampden into those superb looking models, then you sir are a Jedi of the modelling world! An incredibly excellent collection 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Masters Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Love that B-10...what a design! Only the Golden Age of aviation could have produced something like that. Beautiful! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Can only repeat the praise- well done, particularly like the Hampden, Halifax and Trimotor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 What an incredible collection. You're modelling skills are to be admired. Btw, where do you keep them all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hub Plott Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 For all that asked where I keep them, this is the mancave. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 (edited) Great collection. That F-15 Reporter, new one on me.. Looks like a thinned down P-61 Black Widow .. Did it ever make production / service ? How big is that Sunderland and He111Z ? Edited April 11, 2018 by bzn20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reporter did see limited production and a couple even were used as firebombers into the 1960s. The F stood for photo-recon under the Army Air Corps and early USAF designations. And it was an offshoot of the P-61E. The Sunderland has a 28 1/4 inch wingspan the 111Z has a 29 inch wingspan.

Edit: see this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_F-15_Reporter That belly tank certainly ruined the lines didn't it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted April 11, 2018 Share Posted April 11, 2018 Wow. A truly brilliant collection and from what I've heard of the FM Halifax you are an extremely patient and dedicated modeller! I have to admit I haven't heard of some of these manufacturers, not to mention the F-15 Reporter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I really like the Halifax. While I knew about the kit's existence, I don't think I ever saw one built. Awesome job - on the Halifax and the others as well! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Star Models does the B-10 in Resin and he is supposed to re-issue it in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith in the uk Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I have the Halifax , Hampden and Baltimore , I started the Hampden but found nothing fitted in the fuselage and lost interest. The Halifax is a beast as well, this is probably why you don't see too many built ( If only Revell would scale up their 72nd scale kits ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
