Just saw this at the Dragon site. Is this an old kit or something that will be released in the future? It doesn't say what scale or anything.

Hi Hisham

My guess it's 1/200 scale - similar to the Commercial Airlines Series Hasegawa has (had?)

But I could be wrong

I agree, looks like a small scale model, possibly metal and pre-build. Note that the windows are painted on, and no scribed panellines are present. I also think that the props look out of scale.

You're right.
Dragon has their series "wing" (with airliners) and this is new subseries "warbirds" with military planes.

I was hoping it would be a new 1/72 scale release with the level of detail I've seen on their 1/72 AFV"s.

Oh well, I'll keep on dreaming.

If you are looking for a 1/72 C-130, Italeri's multiple versions are quite good.
