What!!

They're doing 1:72nd kits of a 777 and 737s, and yet this classic is relegated to 144th, oportunity lost surely?!

They will be doing a 1/72 kit after the 1/144 one.

i understand this as a question, i dont see any confirmed statement about a 72nd scale 757 from BPK itself. pretty sure, they are not that far.

Thank you Ian, prayers answered there!  There are other 144th 757s around, and I know they have issues, but a 72nd one will be something else!

Will get a couple, depending on versions, New Zealand Airforce, and a commercial scheme one yet to be determined!

thx, found it! i hope they will really do it - cause their A319 project seems to be withdrawn or at least postponed. this 757 will be an expensive adventure for me in any scale. they could only make things worse by doing a 727 🙂

Sounds just fine to me, maybe I can get to retire the Minicraft one I bought in desperation a few years ago. :)

Steve.

Ha Ha!! It must have been desperation!!

If the 757 is of the same quality as their CRJ series (and there's no reason to believe it won't be) sign me up for a dozen to begin with. I've got decals for Britannia, BA, Delta, American, FAT and want Air 2000, TUI, Airtours.

 

Brilliant news. I may even have a 72nd one too.

If there're any left, I just want one to do a RNZAF one. Here hoping. ;) :D

Steve.

And one for me, please! Have wanted to do it ever since watching one display at Wanaka 2004 - what a performer!
