zebra Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Should be Very Big Planes Kits! Looking forward to other people’s builds of this - more than I have room for by a big margin but nice to see they’re doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Got quite excited when I saw the news! Just wish it was something like a DC-10 though... maybe one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric B. Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Wow, I, myself was wondering about either a B737-800 or A320/321. But the B777-300 (-300 that is) is way out of size for me. Nice project though. Eric B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Blimey, & I thought my Zvezda 1/144 kit was almost too big. 😮 Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VMA131Marine Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 This will be bigger than the Monogram 1/72 B-36 Peacemaker. If it is all plastic, by my reckoning, this will make it the largest injection molded plastic aircraft model ever. There are bigger aircraft models, like HPHs 1/48 B-36, but not in plastic.

busnproplinerfan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm scared to see the cost. Have to build a hanger at the airport for it. I'm designing everything in my place to fit the B-36 as the largest model. This needs running engines and full lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCI Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 as much as i like the idea, it doesnt make any sense if you think commercially. many people already said its too big for them, the price of the kit will also be beyond many modeller's budget, and normally i get more than one kit, but for this one i m also going for single one. i'd rather appreciate the A32X series, or a nice 727, 757 or 767 , actually almost anything else than a 777 - but hey, the want it that way. in the history many manufacturers made wrong decisions not listening to their customers and it often was a financial desaster. just my 2 cents 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - I think you may well be correct. I've built a 1/72nd 747 from the AIM vacform and that is H U G E. And considering the 777-300 is, I believe, longer than a 747 you'll need some serious shelf-space! As for price - if a 737 from BPK is bouncing around the £120-mark - the 777 has got to be in £250-£300+ bracket I'd have thought. Many of HK's Lancs have sold at £350+ but whether or not a civvie will have the same appeal remains to be seen. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Seraph Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 No matter what price (even if I guess it will be in the USD 300 ballpark), I will get at least 3. I really hope they go through, and having experienced their tooling and detailing quality, it will make for quite a model kit !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
