Mark I think I will just move house
I worked out the length of this 1/72 C-17 at around 73.5 cm and the wing span is a tad shorter. Hopefully we will be seeing built models later in the year at the model shows.

Nah, what Tom did illustrates the heights that modellers can reach with determination and skill. Fantastic effort by that man
