Nice idea but i think it will be bigger than Series 7 !!! and be the RRP of the 1/24 SHAR.

Its a big bugger in 1/72 scale !!! - I know can't evenn find the spce to cut mine out let alone build it. :o

wonder if Panda ever had any metal cut on tooling for the C-17 they were touting a few years back before they vanished into thin air.
I always hope for the best.

Well, they could do the C-17, but in my humble opinion there's more worthy subjects out there.














HASTINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thorvic's not a kidding.  I handled the US side of this procurement for him and that sucker is huge!!!

There was a scratch built 72nd scale  C-17 doing the rounds from IPMS Brampton in 2004, the sites resident cabin boy can provide more info on it...and yes the bugger was bloody huge.
I always hope for the best.

So is the VC-10 and I'd much rather have 1/72 VC-10K3/4 than a Flabmaster III!

I'll take my Globemaster in 144th scale as well, please.

But I'd rather grab that Antonov from Model Shop Dave ! Can't wait to build that beauty......

And a Hastings would be neat. Always liked that bird. Would also be a cool 144th scaler, as it would be easier to turn her into all sorts of things, like a tricycle gear equiped bird, or a double decker type......bomber, ASW, AAR......how's about a KC type for the US ?

:wub:  
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

RNZAF bomber in Malaya or Vietnam would be good. I'm glad I'm not alone in wanting a mainstream Hastings kit. Although, if I ever see a Welsh one it'll be gone in no time....
