I have the glider on my Shelf of Someday. Even in 1/72 (i think) it is a big rascal. It would seem to be a death sentence to be assigned to fly/ride in these.

I’m already iffy about a B1 Lancer in 1/48 because of the size. No way I could ever find a place to put this behemoth.

Heh...I think that same company makes a 1:32 B-36. You'd almost need an actual aircraft hangar to keep that one in.  |

I jokingly told the wife last fall that I found my Christmas present. There is a Dora kit that is only 850 dollars. She said Merry Christmas. But, I didn't bite. Had I, it would have meant a diamond purchase was also in my future. I can't imagine what the extra administrative costs would be on this one. I do agree with you. Just too big, too expensive and to many opportunities to waste more money. |

How did that thing ever get of the ground?  ? And scary..... Talk about a flying target. Having said that I was about to order one, but then I remembered that I'm not buying any new kits this year  |

No different than the poor modern soldier riding around in an unescorted transport. They are all big lumbering (relative to fighters) sitting ducks even today. It’s even worse today. Most transports have no defensive systems. A single modern fighter doesn’t even have to close to gun range to make a kill, even if the transports are escorted. |

Add radar and SAMs into the mix and things are much scarier today. |

Ok, just like the latest huge Lancaster kit, this is nuts. I'm building my wife a curio cabinet so I can recover my space, but I'd never get this one to "fly" past the gate guard, not a chance, HA! Impressive, to say the least.
