Convair F4Y-2 Petrel

[PR19_Kit]

Good idea, I have a couple of those filed under 'Railway'. 

But I only intend building a little bit of the USS Long Island, full size it would be nearly 19 feet long!

Dragging this thread thirteen years into the present day, here's the box of the AMT Akron/Macon airship kit that I've just been given by my good mate Pete.

It's in the ever-popular 1/520th scale, which means the model comes out around  20 ins long,  so it's not too bad, and it's nicely detailed too, with the props/engines/cooling scoops etc. all supplied. They even have the under hull hangar door as a separate item so if you were really masochistic you'd build a trapeze hanging out of there and put a 1/520 scale Sparrowhawk on it.  Yeah, right..................

But as this thread is about the much more modern Convair Petrel a 1/520 Petrel would fit too, and one of them would be about 12 mm long, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....................

So I might just do that.

BTW, Plastruct is easy to glue if you use their brand of glue. It works on polystyrene and the ABS some of their parts are made out of. I use it all the time.
This whole project is fascinating so please carry on!

And you were complaining about me opening a door in 1/600 scale
