I've got a couple oddball build ideas in mind, both of them hopefully easy(hah!) and I've got a couple questions.

Does any mainstream manufacturer make a 1/72 PT-76?

and...

What railroad scale is closest to 1/72?

First Question: A company called PST do a 1/72 PT-76, I have no idea of their reputation though.

Second:  OO is the closest railway scale to 1/72, coming out at about 1/76.  You might just about be able to get away with HO scale, which is 1/87.

Hope it helps Goob!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

The PST kits are OK.  A little rough but build up nice.

Agreed. No as Revell or Trumpeter, but they are OK.

Actually helps quite a bit. Thanks!

No probs!  Any hints.....???

Well, getting a new job ate up most of my time so I Nixed the more difficult and time consuming of ideas.

The idea was to make a flying PT-76 by attatching the wings and tail from a Minicraft Spruce Goose and attatching bigarse turbofans from alvis-knows-where. Flying bits would be jettesonable, of course.

Anyone want to try? Land, sea, and air, y'all :ph34r:

I did just go and buy myself a Maus, though.... ;D
