Tsrjoe Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 my latest scratchbuild project... a 1/32 Sanger 'Silverbird' atmospheric skip bomber ... makes a change from my usual 1/72 fare (the red one with its booster beside the vacuform is to the smaller scale)... http://www.luft46.com/misc/sanger.html ... the original stainless steel wind tunnel model stil survives (@1/50? scale) and is displayed in the 'space gallery' at the Science Museum, South Kensington, London cheers, Joe KiwiZac, Shawn M and patricksparks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 I've never heard of that aircraft Joe - do you have any photos of it you could post for us as a reference point? I love watching scratch-build threads, so I'm really looking forward to this one! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 COOL! I scratched one in 48 many years ago- BIG beast. This plane was to be launched from a 5 mile launch ramp, under rocket power, and reach a low orbit, and skip across the atmosphere and drop a nuke on NYC, and then re-enter, and land back in Germany 2 hours later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Hi Joe, Just spotted this thread - was it a copy of your mouldings that were left on our stand at Telford? Did you get any further with your project? Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
