Homebee Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) Special Hobby/Hand Made Limited (HML) Kits reissue: 1/48th - Messerschmitt Me 323E-1 Gigant - ref. HML007 Downloadable instructions: https://www.specialhobby.eu/out/ftp/media/HML007.pdf Sources: https://www.specialhobby.eu/en/our-own-production/me-323-gigant-1-48.html https://www.specialhobby.info/2023/01/not-exactly-tiny-model-is-it-148-hml007.html Quote The 1/48 scale HML007 Messerschmitt Me 323E-1 Gigant multimedia model kit was on offer for quite a long time. The main parts of this model were made of fibre laminate joined with injected styrene smaller parts, white metal details, resin parts, vacuformed clear parts, etches and decals. When we ran out of the stocks with this model, we did not plan to re-release it again and the kit was taken out of the offer. Because of recent demand mainly from abroad, we are returning the model back to the offer now, as kit no.HML007, differing in some aspects from the original one. The white metal parts have now been replaced by baked (hardened) PX resin components and the whole and rather intrigue engine assembly has been designed using 3D cad/cam technology, thus offering greater levels of details and resembles the original assembly much closer. The six engine units are also much easier to build now. However, this really monstrous model is not for everyone and not just because of the price tag, to build such a beast does take a lot of skill, patience and time. Not speaking of the need for some pretty large showcase to display it when finished. But if you embark on the journey to build the Gigant, you will be rewarded by a pretty unique item in your collection. V.P.

SprueMan Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Two obvious questions: How big? how much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColonelKrypton Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Simple maths would indicate a model wingspan of about 1.15 meters and length about 0.6 meters On their website, first link in the first post - about $1130.00 presumably US dollars. You can download the instructions from their web page as well ( https://www.specialhobby.eu/out/ftp/media/HML007.pdf ) The Me-323 was always a favourite of mine.
