A Model have released a 1/72 Dornier Do.X
« on: December 15, 2012, 06:48:31 PM »
This thing would have to be a monster! Injection moulded, sells for £179.42 at Hannants excl VAT.  :o



How does it compare size-wise with a Staaken?

In 1:72 scale this model would have a wingspan of 0.66M and a length of 0.56M, that's getting close to the wingspan of the WnW Gotha, darn big, but it's very expensive.

That would be a very impressive model, but, like Des said, it is very expensive!!
Imagine it in 1/32.... :o

In 1:32 scale Andrew it would have a wingspan of 1.5M, it would sort of dwarf all the other 1:32 scale models, and just imagine the price in 1:32 scale.

Now that would take up far too much space!! ;D
In relation to price - larger than the GDP of a small island nation I suspect ::)

Yes it would - my kids could almost sit in it ;D

 Steve,
You've got that right my old friend. Come to think of it maybe a hanger berth alongside the Sprue Goose too.
