Speaking of BIG, there is a brief article (with a cover photo) of a scratch built 1/32 Ilya Muromets featured in the Windsock International, V.6, No.1, Jan/Feb 1990. The model was built by modeler Bob Rice on commission by the Smithsonian Institution as part of its 2-year Sikorsky centennial in 1989. It is a huge and amazing model that took mover 700 hours to complete. I wonder if it's still on display at the Smithsonian?
Regards,
Bob
