Polaris Missile - larger scale model?

[John Tapsell]

A slightly offbeat question for the collective.

 

Does anyone offer a largish scale model of a Polaris missile? I'm thinking of something in the region of a 1/48 or 1/32 item (or similar scale) in plastic or resin.

 

I'm looking for inspiration for a club display project and can't find anything in my usual area of interest (military vehicles) that has a strong enough connection to the display theme.

 

Thanks

The largest I can find is the 1/72 Belcher Bits kit. Maybe you can find someone who could do a 3D print? A missile seems like a fairly simple thing to design, if you know the dimensions of course.

It's always easier to suggest that someone else tries to do it rather than doing it yourself (unintended pun) - could you source some plastic pipe from your local DIY or plumber's supplier and scratch build a larger scale missile.  Using some dimensions taken from the web, a 1/48 scale Polaris A3 would have a diameter of 28.5 mm and an overall length of 205 mm; the corresponding dimensions for a 1/32 scale missile are 42.8 mm and 308 mm.
