An Interesting 1/72 Idea

Post by Ferrari250GTO » Mon Feb 08, 2010 2:59 am

Ok, so I was just thinking, how about having a 1:72 KC135 or KC10?
A KC135 would be about 23 inches long, so it could be packaged in a 1:18 sized box. It should have a functioning boom, so you could hang the KC135 up, have a F15 being refueld, and 2 more flying close behind.
I know I would buy it! What do you think?

They don't make one as kit already? It would be an interesting idea, though I highly doubt you would see one in pre-built fashion. As a kit, however, I could easily see one being made. Revell already makes a 1:72 scale B-52, among other large planes :wink:

But yes, I was thinking pre built (for the most part) like XD planes.
