Heller does a 1/650 Eiffel tower and there are sources for the aircraft in 1/700... tough to get the decals on those 😋

Ok i bought in on this one, literally! Tom’s planes are pretty great so i got the ME109 and P-51D. Put an offer in on the Heller Eiffel tower so we’ll see what happens there. This will be a great post-NATS fun build. I’m betting I spend more time on the groundwork than anything else, though the time it will take to paint those tiny planes may match it 🤣 gonna need a 🥃 for steady hands 👍

When I made this thread I was sort of hoping somebody would tackle some of these. Now there are two of us crazy enough. This one can be spectacular with such a great picture to go by. The tower kit sooks pretty cool on the sprues and should build up to a great display.

The tower kit sooks pretty cool on the sprues and should build up to a great display. Plus, there were actually several to consider - i found a few cool ones: Revell actually makes a 3D puzzle! this was really tempting as it’s affordable. Up close though you could see the pieces slotted together. Revell has a 1/365 i think it was a plastic model. way way unaffordable. Only found 1 and it was near $300 bills. Heller of course. I think the raw color of the plastic actually looks close to the pic i need to emulate so for that and reasons below i picked it. then on Etsy i found someone that does metal Eiffel towers for wedding centerpieces. 3 different colors and sizes from 3” to 28”. These looked super good. In the end tho i thought staying with the plastic model was more appropriate for what we like to do. It was a fun morning just doing searches and looking up facts. I’ve now read a ton of history. Made for an enjoyable vacation day!
