Guest Vulcan32 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 These "kits" are good starting points. I got the 1/18 Fw-190 for 70,- Euros. Even as a friend I have to pay about Euro 500,- for a 1/18 "kit" from HpH. And there´s a lot of scratch building here and there. So I`m glad about the "cheap" plastic kits.

ScottsGT Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 If this was a Phantom kit, I'm afraid I would have to be all over it. Wouldn't replace my 1/32 kits. But just one big F-4 would be cool to have. Now, one F-4J or one F-4E? Or perhaps a C or D? ...See where this is going.

I believe there was such a giant F-4 concept being tooled, twelve or so years ago. Unfortunately it came to naught, but I'd buy one too! What mark? If it was 1/18 I'd go for an RF-4C/E photo Phantom. I'd buy a 1/18 Sea Harrier FRS.1 in as long as it took me to PayPal for it. More likely to see Airfix do a 1/24 Phantom II F-4K or Lightning F.6 me thinks.

A-10LOADER Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 This is my 1/18th scale Harrier II, by Merit. I weathered her up and built the display base. I need to fix some things with the fuel tanks and the weapons but, all in all not too bad. She measures 33 inches long with a wingspan of 20 1/2 inches.

Menelaos Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) building models in 1:18 scale makes a LOT OF FUN.... Edited February 7, 2018 by Menelaos Luca, alaninaustria, A-10LOADER and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandiego Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 1:18th is super impressive. Super big. Super fun. I reworked a 1:18th F-18 a few years ago. It dominants my collection, and it gets more attention from visitors than everything else combined. Dan Menelaos and A-10LOADER 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncarina Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I'm curious to see if it inherits features of the Trumpeter kits, such as the nose shape and lack of the kink in the wings. Cheers, Tom otis252 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otis252 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Great question Tom. At first look, it appears they may have gotten the wing leading edge "kink" correct. That's always been the worst point on the Trumpeter kit for me. Chuck Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Certainly not my scale or era of interest but I really admire the rest of everyones enthusiasm for these big scale jets. Furthermore, I love the detail, care and time you put into each project. There have been some really great super scale jets that have turned up here on LSP. Carry on!

Cheers, Tom There are several issues with the overall shapes. However, in 1/18 scale I think it would be a lot easier to correct and probably a lot more fun.

Guest Vulcan32 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Retail price of a German distributor is Euro 109,99, so I´m sure it will be available at some online shops for less than Euro 100,-. Dave T 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
