what's the biggest 1/18 (ish) item in your collection? Right now mine is a Junkers 52..it was an r/c kit. The biggest i've got but not put together yet is an r/c airliner i'm going to make into an inflight refueling tanker. It's 5 1/2 feet long with over a 6 foot wingspan and chunky..will make the junkers look small.
Someday i'm going to make a star trek USS Enterprise with 22 foot diameter saucer and 50 feet long overall. Well, no i'm not, but i'd like to...

I'd have to say it's a toss-up between my Hellcat and my PTE Bombed-Out Building if your going by Square' of Space taken up. But if you going by weight, it'd be my Diecast Tiger I.

BBI F-18 or Avenger, I would say it is a toss up.

My Avenger, AT-TE, Big Millenium Falcon (not scale, but it's big), Blackhawk, and Big Wing TIE Fighter all would be in that category I suppose. The TIE's mostly "air", but the rest are fairly substantial toys.

GRILLED CHEESE;
I agree. To me, "Big 'Uns" is Al Bundy's favorite magazine.

I'm sure lots of people have 1/18 P-47's and for many that would be their biggest plane..

BBI F-18
Avenger
P-38 is also quite big.
JSI F-14 will top these.
And a Su27 is even bigger.

What about the B-25 that was suppose to be in production, was that true or just rumor? If it had of come about, I was planning on getting one, just did'nt know where in the world I would of put it.

The B-25 was just 21st Century Toys Propaganda. It was never made and I doubt if there was even a prototype done. It was part of there "Wall of Lies" Strategy to get everyone hyped up then crush their hopes beneath an iron fist.
By the way, I was disappointed as well that this thread was not what I thought.

My BBI Pavehawk takes lots of room with that big main rotor.

Yep, I have only 2 1:18 planes. I have room for 1 more.......it may just be the F15I.....then that will be the biggest by quite a bit!

I gave it a fast paint job (It's the one on the collectorsaccess.com site, in the diorama section, called "Strange Harvest"). Other than that, it's had nuthin. It's sitting there in my virtual storage hanger, along with the 1/18th F-117 Nighthawk.
...damn real life getting in the way of my make believe one
