This winter is turning out to be the season for BIG models, but I doubt if they'll come much larger than this! Is Airfix's new 1:24 Mossie to small to interest you? Then how about a colossal 1:72 Hughes H-4 Hercules - the famous "Spruce Goose"?

As you can see from these pics from Modelimex, A-Model's new short-run kit really is a goliath of a model, with a wingspan around 1.35m.

Construction is a mix of fibre-glass mouldings for the main airframe components and injected styrene for the details.

Of course, a limited edition kit like this comes with a price to match its size: 299.00 €. But if you want something really unique - and have the space to build and display it - A-Model's Spruce Goose could be an incredible project.
