That doesn't look very big judging from the .50 up top.

I just saw where some company will be having a 32 X-3 Stiletto due out by the third quarter. That would be pretty dern neat.

 

[Duke Maddog]

Here's my choices all in injection molded plastic:

1/72 scale M-47 Patton
1/72 scale M-198 howitzer
1/72 scale LVPT-5
1/72 scale C-5A Galaxy
1/72 scale 747 for Air Force One
1/72 scale C-141 Starlifter



I've got others, but you only asked for six.....

 

[rob hart]

I'm with you on the Starlifter.

Didn't someone make a 1:72 C-141? I seem to remember having one WAY back in the 70s.

Ah! Ian you are in luck! There is a 1/32 Fw189 available. It isn't cheap, but it is a good quality kit and comes with everything. It has the Master Model machined barrels, several frets of PE including printed PE, HGW cloth seat belts, so you won't need to find anything.

Only problem is it is resin and does take some odd skills.

I have one of these kits and it is a really nice looking kit.

Thanks Paul, good to know. I feel like this is the kind of kit that Revell would do now, like the Arado, but they haven't gone near it.

Ian.

The 1/72 scale C-141 was done in vac-form too. Still I'd prefer injection molded plastic as more detail can be added and I have no experience with vac form. Resin is far too expensive and had no detail either, such a s a cockpit etc.

One can only hope...

Nova did one in the late seventies.

This is how far I have gotten on it.
