Those decals will be fun !

 

[Dave Ward]

I'd say that it would probably be worthwhile to apply the transfers to thin plasticard & then attach that to the model ( at least the advertising & destination boards ) . I think in real life, they may have been stuck on hardboard.............

Looks good....would look even better with adverts on the stair risers....

Cool, a Leyland Retriever. Always liked that ever since I built the Matchbox Monty’s Caravan set in the early 1980s.

Wow loving the fiat cr42 and cessna 02 dave and im sure the gladiator will be a big seller. That zwilling must have a huge wingspan too!

 

[Dave Ward]

The ICM Gladiator I has received good reviews on most sites, 1/32 isn't really my scale, but I'm going to keep an eye out for a bargain.....
I agree that the O-2 looks good - I remember making the Airfix pushmi-pullyu in 1/72 many years ago

Friend of mine has just built the Gladiator and it looks superb. He loved it.

I must be misreading it! A USS Missouri in 1/72?

 

[AlanG]

The way i read it was looking at the post above it. 1/35 to 1/72. This is now 1/72 to 1/1000

 

[Dave Ward]

OK, build a new shelf & see your Bank Manager!!!
On the Modelsvit Facebook page

and accompanying spiel
"Dear friends,
Glad to announce that An-225 "Mriya" (1/72) is scheduled for release this March. The kit comes with PE sheet, adhesive masks, decals for 4 liveries, consisting of 975 parts and having a wingspan of 1.23 m (48.3 inches). Fuselage and wings are produced by reinforced fiberglass composite, making them very durable. During storage, transportation and displacement - wing consoles could be deattached from the fuselage."
Note the weight - 2.565kg!!!

Just checked. At 1/72, that would come out at 3.75m long. Smaller than I thought, but still longer than any room in my house so a new shelf wouldn't be enough. I do wonder what the scale numbers mean.

...I do wonder what the scale numbers mean.

Like Alan said there are more models in that picture (something like "our new ship range")...
So the Missouri would be 1/1000, the others in the bottom-right corner might be 1/72, difficult to see in the picture...
Cheers, Steven
