Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I bet Ken Duffy is already halfway through the build.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Size (of the stash) matters.

They've sold one, stock is down to two. Not sure, even if I had the money and the inclination to build one, that I would have the space to put it together  :blink: :blink:

Mind building something for that money you'd have to open the front and rear doors.  :blink: :thumbsup:

Just crossed my mind that this is only the four engined version, there is a six engined version that is used to transport out-sized loads, now that would be BIG  :blink:

Where would you put that after its built? I would have to build a glass top coffee table or something to put that in. On the other hand, it would be easy to pack it with 1/72 scale tanks and trucks.

I've got the Revell 1/144 version, and that's already inconveniently huge. It's sitting on top of a kitchen cupboard because I can't put it anywhere else without it being a hazard.

Yup, then use it as a tunnel on a model railway layout  :wacko:

Having got a couple of 1/72 747's and a C-5 in the stash (among some others), I don't see it as being that big (a deal)   ;D ;D
I've already started on my 3'-6" deep x 9'-0" wide x 7'-0" high cabinet and by the time I've built the above mentioned and added the eight 1/72 B-52's, four B-36's to the display I may have to build another.

Most people in the UK would call a cabinet that size a garage  :blink:

It will have electrical for the lights but that's about it.  I'm recycling some old patio doors which are all double glazing and more importantly, tempered glass. The glass size is 3' x 7' which will dictate the cabinet size as you can't re-cut tempered glass.  I'll have to have custom glass shelves made though ---
