catbloke Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 Apparently offered by De Agostini as a monthly series build. Has anyone ever seen one in reality? For some unknown reason I have a fascination with this aeroplane, and would would be keen to build a 32nd version. Here are two links from the net, from what I can gather there are 24 issues, but only 7 available? http://mavzolhobby.com/store/deagostini/legend-aviation-scale-132/ Jan_G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catbloke Posted April 5, 2019 Author Share Posted April 5, 2019 Hi Tony, thanks, yes I saw that link and posted it in the original post, but having heard about this kit some time ago I was suspicious that perhaps the magazine series never got past issue 7?

DeanKB Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The cost will be ridiculous - hundreds and hundreds. Their DC-3 costs over £600! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they have a presence in the US? Their thing is to flog stuff on a weekly/monthly basis, be it aeroplane kits, cuddly toys, car kits, etc, via a magazine-like subscription. The cost to the consumer is ridiculously expensive. They currently over a 1/8 scale VW camper van. 24 months at - wait for it - £50 a month, total outlay £1,200. £1,200!!!! For a 1/8 VW Camper model!! Bloody daylight robbery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeusbheld Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I, too, am obsessed with this ungainly beast. But seeing the price I'll get a good set of plans instead. It's deep in the queue so by that time maybe Wingnut Wings will make one. Or Copper State. Long shot but I'd have not thought a Gotha UWD kit possible. catbloke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn't far off from the Bandai 1/72. They do need a bit of work correcting details though. But it's certainly impressive when done.

Lee in Texas Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) IIRC, Fine Scale Modeler had a cover story/plans for this plane back in the early to mid 1990s. edit: yes. March 1991 Edited July 16, 2019 by Lee in Texas catbloke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
