Two from Uncle Burt, great!  The Spaceshipone/White Knight is especially good news, it's a milestone in aviation/spaceflight that has been ignored except for the Unicraft kit.  White Knight's work didn't end after it had lofted Spaceshipone into the beyond, it's seen use as a test vehicle & also as a cariier for the X-37.  Plenty of modelling opportunites, real & whiff.

A few more of Burts aircraft would be nice, I've been after an ARES for a while, an injection Proteus would also be good (the only one being the Unicraft kit), plus any number of others.
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.

1/72 Bristol Brabazon, your feckin' kiddin' me! :wub:  Time to sell the bed, as well as somwhere to put it, it might just fund the purchase....  That'll be 75cm long with a 97cm wingspan. :blink:

The Tradewind sounds good too, has anyone ever done it in 1/72 before?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Yes Kit, Combat Models does one, look in the 1/72 Aircraft section.

http://www.combatmodels.us/

Incidently, Execuform also do a 1/72 Brabazon and a Princess.

Thanks, I didn't know they had a web site even. I had noted the Princess already, and it's on my mental list, but I need to get the fork lift truck to carry it around first.........  ;D

   Assuming "PBY" is a typo & hopefully it's supposed to be P5Y, that'll be a gotta have for me. Combat's Tradewind is the big nosed, ugly R3Y-2 transport.

1/72 Hindenburg, can't be true can it???  If it's a success it might be followed by the Akron & Macon.  Found it on airshipmodeller by accident when searching for A Model stuff in general.  Related to an original Hyperscale thread, link below only seems to go to the home page, if you search for Hindenburg 1/72 you'll find it.  Probably cost a fortune & would be the only subject on your show table, but, like, WOW!!!
:o :o :o :o :o

The Airshipmodeller site seems to have died, I haven't been able to connect to it for days now.  :angry:

I never saw an A Model Hindenberg on there, the mind BOGGLES at the size of it in 1/72, that'd be about 11.5 feet long! Mind you, it wouldn't weigh anything.......  -_-

And while they're doing Akron and Macon kits, they could to the R100 as well, the best Brit airship.

It would be HUGE.   In 1/72 it would be about 3.4 metres long and about .5 metres in diameter!

I wonder, if you put helium balloons in it would it fly?   It would have to be made as a vacuform, I think.
