Quote from: PR19_Kit on March 14, 2020, 12:21:28 PMJust taken delivery of one of my Holy Grail kits, and yes, it did cost a fortune, but WTH. 

Ohhhh, 1/72?

It is 72nd Dave and rare as rocking horse crap it turns out .

Yes indeed, and mine was stupidly cheap as I recall too.

I did this with it :-



Interminable build thread here :-

https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=47537.0

I remember that build Kit and mate it's still superb..a extremely cool prototype to start with and you made it better   

Ooh, cool - I'll have to look that thread up at some time.

Recently secured a complete example of the Italeri  "Project Aurora" combo. Purchased for £20 at a local charity shop. I now have two of the "SR-75" aircraft, one of which is the Testors boxing

Right now?  An AZ Bf 109 H-1.  Seem to be like rocking horse cack.

I can say i bought one of mine today on ebay for a reasonable price. The OOP Valom 1/72 Blackburn Firebrand TF MK.II.
Only have one or two that come to mind right now but they're not out of production, just too expensive for me at the moment.
One of them is the Planet models 1/72 XP-54 Swoose Goose.

I've a soft spot for Planet. Chunky and take some cleaning up, but they build reasonably well. Picked up a couple at Telford quite cheap (thanks to The Wookster for spotting them  )

No such luck for me here in Portugal...   Their models are expensive but for some aircraft, they're the only kits available...
I'd love to get their XP-54 but the Anigrand XP-67 Moobat is also on the list...

Cmk also did a Moonbat, as well as Rareplanes although that was a vac form.

Yep, and both are very hard to find these days... and the ones i've seen so far, are way more expensive than what i'm willing to spend so, these are some of the kits i think i'll never have...

I have a new "grail" kit to long for.



Metro Hobbies currently have it's price reduced to AU$ 719...

Yeah, nah.  Not going to happen.

As much a i love star wars, the only other space vehicle i'd like to build besides the X-wing is Buck Roger's Starfighter. but the Monogram kits i've found on ebay are also way too much money for my wallet...

A 1/72 scale Millennium Falcon? 

a) How do they know how big the original was in order to scale it, and

b) Is there enough styrene in the world to mould the kit?

The Millennium Falcon is tempting!

However, it will probably join the list of other favourite space ships that will never be built by me; Serenity (Firefly/Serenity), Razorcrest (The Mandalorian), Sulaco (Aliens), Nell (Battle Beyond the Stars).


@ Kit: The Millennium Falcon isn't that large & the studio sets & models for the movies were scale representations of a plan, there is even a 1:1 version
