I might have a go Erich, but it won't be for a little while, as I've got loads of other projects all happening at the same time. I want to do a couple of 190A's anyway, so it fits into my plans.

The largest model airplane I have seen is a slightly larger than 1/9 scale B-36! It has a wing span of 27 feet (about 8.25M). I am sure this is a custom job. It is hung from the ceiling of a very large room near Las Vegas, NV. I saw this on an Extreme Home Program a couple of years ago.

I am sure the 1/18 Mustang is quite a bit smaller!

Hi Bill, and welcome! That B36 does sound a tad large! if you have a look in the 'Post R/C Models That Aren't Yours' thread, by Thunder Thud, I thinkthere's a large scale flying model in there soewhere, but I don't think it's quite as big as the one you mentioned. But, a 1/18th scale model, in the average house, is still a fair size!

Bill G. · 01-28-2009, 07:42 PM

HI Airframes!

Thanks for the welcome!!

I'll probably sneak into the R/C section someday. But as you have figured, that ain't my thing! Love your expressions!

My two moving hobbies are model trains and rockets. Not much risk with trains, but I have lost a couple of rockets. To be honest, I admire R/Cers that put so very much hard work and craftsmanship into something that can crash at any time.

I have watched some videos of very large R/Cs that have crashed. One was a B-52. It burned as well. Just a bit too real to me. I served on two SAC bases that had B-52s. I didn't see one crash. But still having seen the real things, that hits a bit close to home.

Thanks again!

Someone say model trains, H0 I presume...or? Looooove the Milwauke Road, Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Southern Pacific, Norfolk & Western, Reading, Lehigh Valley, New York, New Haven & Hartford, Western Maryland, Delaware & Hudson and Gulf, Mobile & Ohio......and S-T-E-A-M! Well, I don't mind 1st generation diesels or 2nd.....as long it's BEFORE Conrail! (shiver)...

Heinz · 01-29-2009, 03:00 AM

Anywho Welcome Bill.

What scale/gauge and era/location are you into Bill?

Personally I have dabbled with 00 and N, British stuff of course

Cheers.

Lucky13 · 01-29-2009, 03:18 AM

Like LMS, LNER etc.?

Heinz · 01-29-2009, 04:33 AM

Yup the Big 4 and before hand. Also British Rail up until Privatisation.

My grandfather worked for LMS and BR until 1980 as a fitter.

Lucky13 · 01-29-2009, 04:38 AM

LMS is my favorite of the Big Four.....

Dear Heinz

I model in HO scale. My home layout isn't much. It is snap track on four 4x8 sheets of plywood in a "C". Most of my modeling is at a nearby club layout, the Kalamazoo Model Railroad Historical Society. The web site is www.kmrhs.org It is a fictional (Cooper Park & Eastern) railroad somewhere in Michigan set in 1960.

From 1988 to 1984, I worked on a real tourist railroad. I was qualified as trainman, fireman, engineer, and conductor. The railroad was the Kalamazoo, Lake Shore, & Chicago (KLS&C). I ran passenger (tourist), dinner, and freight trains. I engineered GP-7s, FP-7A, and E-8A diesels. If you google KLS&C you can find many pictures of the equipment.

Well, take care on the other side!

Bill G.

From Airfix today:

"We do not currently have a 1:48 Lightning in the range, however we do keep a record of all customer requests and suggestions, which we do take into consideration when planning all future releases and I do think it is likely we will be doing one."

Airframes · 01-29-2009, 11:30 AM

Ah! So they ARE alive! At least you got a reply!

Lucky13 · 01-29-2009, 01:14 PM

Yup! So, grab your cyber pen and drop them a line to re-release their 1/48 E/E Lightnings...!
