Did you see the biggest 1/72 model on the planet?

They have a model of the R100 airship slung up in the roof of of the Barnes Wallace Collection hut, above a 1/72 scale Wellington as a comparsion. As the real R100 was 720 ft long the model is 10 FEET long! Awesome.

For some bizarre reason they won't let you take piccies in there, and yet they don't sell any themselves...........

Great pics, not been to Elvington for about 10 years, must go back soon.

Hi Kit
Part of the museum has gone all modern interactive and the R100 is now in a big case in the Pioneers of Flight hut, the same place as the Upkeep bomb.
