So how large is the wingspan in 1:48? If I only had the money and the room....this is a cool aircraft!

It would need a room to itself

OMG!! this one is huge to say the list. I'm assuming that HPH needed this model for a movie or a customer. Honestly, I just can't see a market for a model this big. I've still got my 1/48 scale PBY-5A boxed and waiting for a build start date as I just can't figure out where nor how to display it without the wife threatening to toss it and me. And Pacemaker makes it seem small.

Indeed, money and room, especially money: 575 euro is a bit too much for me.
