Are they serious? That's 1,400 mm or 4 ft 7 in :boom:
Why not? That´s in the range of Revell´s 1/72 subs. Ok, a few centimetres more... Hey, you are living in Hamburg? A good place to launch this one for a ride! :lashed:

The newer kits from Trumpeter are not this bad. Ok, they are good! Only some very early tank kits have been quite simple, but that´s some years ago now.
I found even more interesting stuff browsing the catalogue again. But I really want that AT-T Prime Mover and the 2P19 TEL. Last one has been announced for some time, hope it will get available now.

Let's see who gets the AT-T Prime Mover first.... LOL!

I'm curious just how big the 1/24 scale Spitfire Floatplane could possibly be?

Shouldn´t be too hard to Google the Spitfire´s dimensions and divide by 24... :quotes: :whistle:

I could ask at Blohm & Voss for some parts for super detailing that kit. :bag:

A diorama with a shot down Halifax in rough sea would be cool. Two square meters of space though...

Is there a 1/48 scale Halifax on the market? No, not the French one...

Huh? Now that is a real gap in the ever increasing lineup of model kits.

So a Blenheim or a Lancaster will have to do the job. But still dreaming...

It has about the same "footprint" as a 1/48 B-25 (just a tad bigger)

That's an Airfix kit...but 1/24 none the less.
