That is one BIG project, I think I'd rather stick to 1/48 scale, after all can you imagine the size of the display cabinet needed for that thing? :-)

Hi Martin,

Quoted Text

can you imagine the size of the display cabinet needed for that thing?

He could always throw out his tomatos...
A greenhouse would make a nice display cabinet...but how do you get it upstairs to put in the modelling room?

I hope its not a case of the Colditz Cock...has he worked out how he's going to get it out of the room......knock a wall down?
Cheers
Peter

Are you refering to the glider built during WW2 or some form of unpleasant ailment? #:-)

That thing is amazing. Those guys aren't modelers, they're engineers. Fantastic. How they can bear watching them crash beats me.
