The Phantom Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The LA-5 got my vote and was a deserved winner and was 1/72 scvrobeson and Anthony in NZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 The LA-5 got my vote and was a deserved winner and was 1/72 I missed seeing that model in the flesh, and assumed from the photos that it had to be at least 1/48 scale! 1/72? That blows my mind! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maxim Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 That motorbike was outstanding. The B-17 had removable wings and tail-planes. Sure was big and made me decide not to go that big in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not the biggest kit I've seen at Expo though. A few years ago someone entered the 1/35 Dora Railway Gun. Now that was big. scvrobeson and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Not the biggest kit I've seen at Expo though. A few years ago someone entered the 1/35 Dora Railway Gun. Now that was big. Indeed it was. Was that the one in Metro Hobbies for a while? Given it was resin it'd have weighed a fair few kg as well. Some awesome models at the expo.

LSP_Matt Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 I think this was the model for anyone who didn't see it. I thought it was a killer model and very well displayed. Have you seen that you can get these imported brand new into Aus now in 1:1 scale. Chang Jiang CJ 750 I did see an ad once for an importer that was doing reproduction saddlebags for the sidecar and MG mounts as well. I thought it might be fun but then I thought about Melb traffic and it's drivers and decided living was better. Matty LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Peterpools Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Brad The motorcycle build is simply incredible and the weathering brilliantly done. I can see why it won the Peoples Choice Award. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Oh no sorry I was talking to Matt about a 1/35 Carl Gustav railway gun that was entered a few years ago that won People's Choice. The motorcycle won it's category this year though.

Guest Peterpools Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Thanks Brad, appreciate the correction as I misunderstood.. I'm still in awe of the incredible work and weathering on the motorcycle. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The motorcycle won it's category this year though. Now I'm confused, Brad; the Carl and Dora are two different things. I gather it was the the big railway gun (Dora) not the self-propelled mortar kit (Carl)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Tasca/Asuka 1/24 "Fallschirm Feldpost" Zündapp KS750 is what he called it on his FB page. Gaz Thanks for the info. I'll have to look for that kit. Looked beautiful Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1/35 SP mortar is big enough but the Dora is mammoth Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
