Holy crap .....£621.25

For the money I can build a RC flying model here.

DBII · 08-25-2009, 01:00 PM

I did not see the wing span listed. Any guesses? I would have to get a larger apartment for it.

102 feet actual / 32 = 3.18 feet (HOLY CRAP!) in scale!

Ah I really hate these magazine things. I'm yet to meet anyone whose collected an entire series. I believe there was make your own working steam engine a few years back. RC car as well, a ww2 aircraft collection, the ideas are endless.

Still it would be nice if Revell was listening after their wonderful 1/32 Ju88 release!

DBII · 08-25-2009, 02:01 PM

I was hoping Revell would follow up with a B-25 in 1/32

Heinz · 08-25-2009, 02:04 PM

I agree that certainly would be great DBII. Maybe a Mossi, they'd probably beat Airfix to it aswell regarding their 1/24 behemoth.

Airframes · 08-25-2009, 02:39 PM

Yep, it sounds good, but for the price, after collecting the magazines for over a year, it's a bit steep! And, of course, the need for a separate room to display it as it would deserve! There was a company (in the UK) producing 1/32nd scale vac-forms of the Lanc, Halifax and B17 a few years back, and I saw a beautiful Lanc of theirs at an IPMS show. It's bl**dy big I can tell you!
I agree, I'd like to see Revell (Germany) follow up their beautiful JU88 with a B25, and certainly a new Mossie, preferably with the option for bomber and fighter, as in the old Monogram 1/48th scale kit. A Heinkel He111 and Dornier Do17 would be nice too, in time for the 70th anniversary of the BoB. Are you there Revelll.....?? Oh, and can I have a Lottery grant to build an extension to my house please?? It's for a good cause, art, history etc...honest!

If Revells listening ,I'd buy a 1/32 Mossie - even if it was a little more than your Ju-88

1/32 Lancaster - why not just bloody build a real one? proberly be cheaper

badbear · 08-26-2009, 10:33 AM

I did build the fokker Dr1 triplane a couple of years ago and that turned out to be a superb model and bloody large over a 3 foot wingspan .I sold it for 300 quid in the end on ebay but it was fun to build seeing it come togetherover a year.BB

DBII · 08-26-2009, 12:54 PM

The Mossie would also be a good choice.
