      I have the DeAgostini falcon. Which is 32" long. It's going to have to go in a coffee table dio.


      I got these the last week from eBay as I don't want to miss the chance to build them. I think most future builds will be smaller. I don't have the space.

        H.M.S. Dreadnought, on offer from Wonderland models £19.99! Gonna be a while before I can tackle her, got a 'tilly to finish and it is summer, so a lot of time spent outside at the moment.

          Biggest kit...my RC boats, built from plans, one was 3ft long. Biggest, so far is the 1/24 Huey, in length. Although the large scale Star Wars MF and X-wing at over 2 ft was large.

              really liking the Rsr turbo dougie , as a kid I always wanted this kit but could never afford it brings back so many good memories of hanging around in Beatties in Sheffield drooling over the big kits!!

                Ive got quite a few that are all about the same size , just over two foot . Tu 22 blinder , tu22 m2 backfire , lockheed super constellation , all 1/72 then theres the 1/32 beaufighter and of course the in progress b58 hustler in 1/48 .


                Of course theres a few biggies still in the stash , 1-48 ac47 gunship , 1/32 mig 29 , 1/144 airbus a380 to name a few . The problem im having though is where to put any new builds when theyre done , these big buggers take up whole shelves on their own !!

                  Built: 1/48th B-17 (Memphis Belle)


                  In the stash: 1/32nd Revell Ju-88


                  The B-17 is physically bigger...ie. length and wingspan - but I think the Ju88 is gonna be bulkier and have more of a 'presence'.


                  Or, can I count a multi-material (wood - plastic - white-metal - photo-etch - etc..) magazine partworks kit..?


                  1/200th DKM Bismarck - a little over 4 feet long.


                  (currently part-built - I plan to eventually display it in a glass or perspex case under a glass-top coffee table)


                  Also got a 1/32 Beaufighter stashed, which won't be far behind the Ju88

                    My largest was a deans marines 1/96th scale HMS Sentinal it was 4ft long. I was living in a flat at the time I built it, and it was difficult to manuver the boat out of the door and down 3 flights of stairs when I took it to the local lake.


                    I have a 1/200th USS Arizona in my stash which is currently my largest model at 97cm long

                      Cheers, I can't really justify it at the moment but... mr credit helped out!! I didn't want to miss it at £150 each and no longer available I thought " you only live once " and I hate that quote!!! only real problem is I had to pay about £45 for the PE kit for the RSR as it was the older version whereas the 935 was the newer one with PE. I thought it was worth it as It will only be impossible to get later on.

                        1/32 Bf 110 by Dragon and the 1/32 Me 262A-1a by trumpeter (not built yet). THe bf 110 was huge, it was a monster for an aircraft...


                        The me 262 is very large by fighter standards
