Nice one Peter I'm doing the 1/72 one at the moment and that's big enough you will need an hanger for this one. Watching all the way

 

[Ian M]

Thats huge! Dare I say Herculean...


Look forward to seeing this come together..

 

[flyjoe180]

You're going to need a new hangar Peter

At last i have started on my hercules there wont be to much detail on the intereor as it wont be seen, but i have finished the cockpit and i have put it against my 1/72 hercules for a size comparison.

Hang it from the ceiling Peter. A shame to have to display/store it with the wings off.

 

[colin m]

Like Joe said, hang it, don't hide it.
