DeanKB Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The DeAgostini product was originally for one of those "build week by week" publications. As such it's ridiculously over-priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1to1scale Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Just a word of caution, the Deagostini aircraft are meant to be display pieces, and not accurate. Their Zero was a beautiful aircraft, but is no longer available, their other aircraft are a little more crude and not at all accurate. The rivets on their spitfire look like railroad spikes in the fuselage. With that said, I currently am giving them my money for the Millennium Falcon.

The two photos at the bottom (with a wooden frame) are of the Camel. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The DeAgostini range can be really hit and miss - this one seems a good one, though, and the Zero was excellent too. The rest of the aircraft (especially the Spitfire) are not worth the money. Their large-scale cars are very good too, I've built the McLaren MP4/23 and want to get the MP4/4 as well. They also did a 1/32 Ilya Muromets, which looked excellent, but apparently it's for the Russian market only and probably won't be released in the West.

Gazzas Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Amazing looking project. For all that spar, rib, and stringer work, you'd want to add a motor so it can fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoyguy Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I really wish someone would do a covered (not skeletal) 1/16 Tripe. I thought about buying one of the Hasegawa kits and covering it, but, no... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony T Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Those big nautical models float my boat. Cornwall Models in Camelford. Not a galaxy away. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
