Now, this is definitely something that needs to be seen to be really appreciated.  A Model has announced that they will be producing a 1/72nd scale Hughes H4 (often referred to as the "Spruce Goose").  Here are the links thanks to a member of ARC for the information which also includes a couple of images of another 1/72nd scale H4 under construction with a BV-222 sitting next to it for a comparison on size and to really appreciate how large this model will be when assembled.  

The ARC Topic: WOW! What a monster!, AModel announces Hughes H-4 1/72

Coincidently enough, I found that only a couple of days ago and was going to post it here.  As I said further back in the post, I had a chance to buy the Heavy Kits moulds of their 1/72 Spruce Goose but after chatting with my friend Steve Gardner (ex-Aircraft in Miniature Production Manager) I decided not to, it was a bit expensive for a male moulded kit.  I'm relieved now that I didn't, I would never have been able to sell any of them, would I?

My first thought is in MATS/Air Transport Command livery for the Berlin Airlift.  The next is to arm it up, like Short Shetland on steroids.
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.

modellversium.de has recently uploaded in box reviews of the following 1/72nd scale A Model missile kits:

Kh-55 & Kh-55M (NATO designation and codename AS-15 Kent)(1/72nd scale kit # 72127)


Kh-35 & Kh-35U/E (NATO designation and codename AS-20 Kayak)(1/72nd scale kit # 72173)


It is nice to see that A Model has included a missile handling cart in these kits.
