From the largest to the smallest model built in 1/72 or pre-built

[Steel Penguin]

largest, airfix Vulcan when i was in my teens, did a ok job, it got trashed during house moves, but i use bits for various stuff, smallest, one of the following, airfix hawk ( red plastic red arrow) an OH-6 that i did for fun  or possibly the figures I'm doing for my father in-laws 009 railway, there only reasonable standard wargames style, ( undercoat, base coats, ink wash, maybe a few highlights) but he likes them and his rail modeling friends seem to be amazed that i can do that... ( i don't ever want to show them a properly painted Napoleonic era fig in that scale, those scare me)

a scratchbash armed microlight using landing gear bits from an Airfix Whirlwind helo and the cockpit tub from the F-80 Shooting Star

Do you have any pictures of that? Sounds great!

Ah well. Sounds like a great idea for a quick bits-box build.

Had a couple of 1/72 BMW K75 motorcycles -- do they count?

As for largest, add me to the B-36 brigade. The last one I was building was going to be a US Navy patrol bomber with contraprops, a new nose/cockpit and such, but it was destroyed in a move.

My smallest in 1/72 is prob an Airfix Gazelle and the biggest a Revell B1.....got a 1/48 Monogram B17 an B24 but will be looking to get rid of them.....got some 1/35 helo's as well....they big because of the rotor diameter....still waiting for my Hind to arrive though.......

If you are building the prototype it had the original short wing of 14 foot 3 inches compared to the jet's 17 foot span.

I didn't know that Jim.

My reference article, showing pics of the V tailed prototype, says it could be flown like a motor glider with its '.....long high aspect ratio wings...', so I guess they modified it at some stage or another. Do you know if it always had the V tail or was that modified later too?

Kit,

PM on it's way

I've got a C-17 too, a Combat Models vacuform. But it's not much bigger dimension wise, than the CC-150 I've also got and only half the size of a C-5
