Pity it wasn't done in 1/72, like the Airfix Pievan.

I seem to remember the same thing being said when the Revell 1:144 BAe146-200 was released. Even though that would have been nice I don't think they would have sold as many 1:72 scale kits as they did 1:144 scale kits (and certainly they wouldn't have done a -100 in 1:72 as well like they did in 1:144).

Also in a similar vein it will be interesting to see how many 1:72 A400Ms they sell compared to 1:144 A400Ms.

Anyway didn't Aeroclub do the 330 or 360 in 1:72? Pretty sure I've got one ... somewhere ... (Box WSB011 on Shelf WPS03 in Storage Shed 42? Must get around to finishing that Access Database one day!)

Hi All,
i have received the EE Short 330 just this week and it ain't as bad as ppl are saying as i have compared it against the Anigrand model that comes with the USAF C-17A. If Anigrand sold their supplement models ie Short 330, Citation V and the Metro III or IV as a single model then the EE model wouldn't come about.

i wouldn't be building it as yet as i have a long production of model making before i get to it.
