I remember seeing this kit, high up on a shelf in a model shop when I was really young knowing I could never afford it - well now it's mine. Any ideas ?

Colin M...

Oh, I'm not sure the claim is still valid these days.

B36 'Peacemaker'?

I'm going to say B-36 Peacemaker, only because the colour in the photo looks similar.

If my memory serves me correctly the Monogram Peacemaker was first released in the late seventies there was a full build review in Scale Models at that time,I guess quite rightly it was claimed to be the largest plastic kit.I believe that title is now held by the Trumpeter 1/35 Leopard German railway gun. I've only seen the Leopard kit in the box all I can say is that it's enormous,while the photos I've seen of the completed model back that up.

Thought it was lol, seen the box on one of those Japanese You Tube videos. Looked like it had been there for some time because it was covered in dust, I didn't understand him but he was so excited lol.

Have fun, John

Nice beast colin! Although i dont think it still holds the title, theres been some huge kits these last few years, not to mention the soon to be released 1/32 scale Airbus a 380 from one of the far eastern makers ,i think it includes a P.E. fret with 853 seat belts on it too ,:emo:

[colin m]

853 seat belts - that's stupid. I'm not good with repitition. Six propellers might test my patience.

853 PE Seatbelts ............... I'd just throw the damn thing at the wall.

Not quite Malcolm.

The one at the front is the 1/35 Leopold (this is the Dragon version). The one at the back is the 1/35 Dora by Soar Art models.
