That's about half what they used to go for. Wingspan is actually right on 1/18 but the length is 2 feet too short. Looks ok.....i thought Joe guys might like it.

Anyway, just putting it out there if anyone is interested...

Hey Aferguson.
Would that be a scale 2 feet short or a full 24 inches too short?
This would be cool in a true 1/18 scale and for $100 not that bad of a deal.

it should be 6 feet long but it's 4 feet long, so it's 2 full feet short.

I had to look for myself . The Sr-71 is 107 feet 7 inches long. Your right the model is a full 24 inches short. It should be 71.61 inches. That is about 71 5/8 inches. Can you imagine a 6 foot long 1/18 scale plane. That would be the mack daddy of the 1/18 world.
