Any chance of seeing any 1/32 big bombers?

Has anyone heard or do you think there is any chance of seeing any big bombers in this scale. I know there is little chance of seeing these in 1:18, but I thought the 1/32 scale might be manageable. Heck they should fit in the current 21st 1:18 scale plane boxes-so no new boxes needed.

Big planes in those scales would be cool and much more practical than 1:18. Still, they'd be huge!

As awesome As they would be for us, I’m not sure the company’s would take a financial gamble on trying to push them…. But a massive donier being flanked by a couple 262’s…. How awesome.

Perhaps some medium bombers would be okay, but all the heavies would be terribly large. I think your best bet would be 1/32. Even then the wing span would be measured in feet.

I'd love to see a 1/72 B-17, B-24, B-29, B-26, B-25, and A-26!

Well, your wish has been partially granted - there are 1:72 bombers made by Corgi. The B-17 (F & G models), B-24 (D & J types), Landcaster, Wellington, Mosquito (bomber & nightfighter variants), HE-111, JU-87, and soon, there will be a B-25 as well. They all have moving turrets, propellers, variable pos. landing gear, flight crews, and some have moving control surfaces.

There's a B-29 in 1:144 scale, too.

...but then, you knew about all these planes, didn't you

Yeah, just I'm more hopefully they will appear in the... 'less expensive' range

While the Corgi ones are excellent... I can almost buy 2 Bbi F-18 Hornets for the cost!

The cost certainly is the truth! I only have four of the large 1:72 planes, and three of them I got on discount.
