Sorry, that was a 737, not a 727, my bad.

Even better, according to Hr. Revell, it 'reaces a max. soeed of 934 km/h.', as well as the kit having 'Authentic Boeing 737-200 engines' - I coulda sworn they were made by P&W. :)

Only takes up an area around 7' x 6'. On the other hand it does take the guess work out of whether you go with the metal landing gear over the plastic. ;-)

We had this discussion when our second favorite flake was insisting that he saw a 1/72 scale C-5A for sale in injected plastic.

Since all dimensions are reduced, the weight would drop by the cubic root, IIRC the discussion properly, so plastic land- ing gear would be fine.

Bruce

The cubic root scaling factor for weight is correct - but those scale sized gear would still be holding up a lot of heavy arse plastic kit.

WmB

Not injected but vac. Here it is:

out of stock, but will be made to order afaik.

in that scale, I bet Revell will charge us for carry on luggage !

The group's second favorite flake insisted it was an injected kit.

*LOL*

(think you´re right....)

Blackbird or ID, they refer to each other, so muts be the same kit.

Maybe there is some hope that he will be right at som point in the future. These guys seems to have some big birds on their program:

And in their future release there is a KC-10 extender on its way :-)

That beats mine; I had an old newspaper article about a guy who haunts juckyards getting sheet metal which he hammers into 1:1 replicas of medieval armor. That guy with the Peacemeker - he wouldn't be in Arizona, would he? That's about the only place where you could store something that big.....
