When I was first married ( long time ago ) my then wife bought home a box from ( beatties ) the biggest box I'd seen in models


Monogram/ revell 1/72 Convair Peacemaker ( the largest aircraft kit built on that scale I believe to date View attachment 111901

A passing note when we divorced the peacemaker never lived up to her name and she never flew ( well 3 storeys up and plastic once thrown out of the window by an angry wife will guarantee be broken into a lot of pieces!!!!!!!

.........................And if your wondering no I'll never build this again


............."The first wife was the bad woman


.........My wife I have now loves my modelling but no biggies she says


I still have my BV222 Wiking to do and she's a hunka of a flying boat at 1/72, makes the Sunderland 1/72 look like a toy


Robert :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I have an AMT Boeing EC-135 and a 1\32 Tornado hidden away - thinking of punting the 135 as it will never get built.

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.

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.
