Just wish it was 1/72nd!

Nice, now where to put it, even in 1/144 I may struggle to find room.

Nice to see this iconic aircraft treated.
I have one of each of Anigrand's C-141 kits stashed away. If I ever get those built I might consider trying Roden's version.

the 1/144 scale is good but 1/72nd is better.

Excellent subject, but in that scale it's a bit big for me.
Maybe I can squeeze it in my closet? I find 1/144 excellent for airliners and military trash haulers!---John

At 1/144, a C-141B would be just about one inch longer and an inch wider than a 707.
I have just enough room for two 707s. Alas, all my airliners live in boxes in closets, they can only come out one or two at time on special occasions.

Actually, Aurora produced an even larger (1/108 scale) kit, of the C-141A, Kit No. 376-250, in 1969
It's still the largest injection-molded Starlifter kit ever made.
