I got my F-105 through Squadron's pre-order deal; $99.00 including postage. It arrived yesterday and, when I came home and saw the box sitting in the foyer, I did a double-take....the doggone box is as big as a medium-sized suitcase!

Rivaling the coffee table impression from the Trumpeter A-10?? :^)

I guess that means the wife saw it first and there is no chance to hide it?

I was in my local hobby shop last week when the kit came in. The shop owner opened it for a friend of mine and his remark was: "Wow, nice 1/24th scale kit!" At first he thought it was joke when they told him it is 32nd scale. That kit is huge.

No chance to hide it at all, Craig! Luckily she's pretty understanding about my model-building habit so it's not a big deal, as long as I don't seriously over-g the credit card. :~)

Speaking of coffee table size, have you ever seen the Aero-Club 1/48 scale Avro Vulcan??

That's the ticket...we tell the wives that these just aren't meager kits, they also double as furniture!!

Ask Raymond Burr - "Rear Window"
Tsk, tried that with car parts - didn't work then either... :(
GregD (two tires with plywood on top does not a dining table make)
Have you ever seen the Fly Models 1/33rd Sunderland or GPM 1/33rd B-29? Hobby Model B-1A in 1/33rd is also a monster. .../V
Once upon a time you could get a 1/72 kit of the USS Enterprise - the CVN. Now THAT'S a coffee table...if not formal dining.
i have a nice little surprise for you.
