Being tempted away from man scale

Postby Ericg » Sat Jul 04, 2015 7:46 am

With the recent announcement of this kit:

http://www.hphmodels.cz/index.php/en/ne ... kyrie-1-48

And the Concorde in the same scale, Is it time to break scale and do something different? Both of these models are 1.2 meters long and I reckon would look bloody awesome. So tempted by both!

i can see why you'd be tempted away....they would look awesome on the shelf.....and probably make some of your 1/32 scale models loom small :o :shock:

Eric,

You sir are the man to take on this challenge. You've thrown down the gauntlet on yourself - you have to do this now! With your masterful modelling skills, it would basically be a sin to the Great God of Aircraft Modelling in the dark blue vapours above if you do not build these beauties. It is your destiny!

Cheers

Adam

Go for it Eric, I'm with Adam on this.
You are the one who will do justice to these kits above and beyond the mortal modeller.
..anyhow, the Concorde would be wasted on me. I'd just whif it into one of these, strap a Bluesteel to it and put Iranian roundels on it.

Yes, go for it. I hope you have a big shed for it though. I made the Heller 1/72 kit and it sure is big enough for me.

$660 delivered for the Concorde? Hell bloody no. Would look impressive but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay outta my league especially pricewise.
