Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Two Stratocruisers BSY? That's gonna take up some display space. Will both be airliners, or will one become a military transport?

A Guppy?! Oh wow!!! When I was a kid I would see those flying here regularly taking spacecraft & rocket components from the Douglas and Rockwell plants here to Florida. I really want to see that project!

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
The Guppy would be great to see in 72 scale. I have an old Revell 144 scale in the stash

Re: Latest Acquisitions:
Nice scores guys! Fermis, I can't wait to see what you do with all those. I only wish the Japanese C-1 were in 1/72 scale. I'd love one of those for my Japanese Air Force.
BsY, I've already started a B-377 Stratocruiser; I've been trying to get a decent bare metal finish on it. It is one big plane! I also want to see you do the Guppy. One guy from a local club here in Southern California did one in 1/72 scale, it was a magnificent aircraft! I might even try one later if you make it look easy enough.
Looking forward to seeing these in progress.
