Re: USAF Heavy Lifters

Hi Malcolm,

that is a stunning collection, thank you for showing them. The last image, where did you get the tow tractor, or did you scratchbuild it? I want to make a 3D printed version for a V bomber build but don't have enough details, can you help?

cheers,
Mike

cheers,
Mike

Re: Airfix in scale 1/144

That reminds me of a theme I did a few years ago "Honey, I shrunk the kits". Perhaps we could do something again like that within the SIG? The way I did it was to build the kit and then scan the box art from the larger scale kit, reduce it to 1:144 size and display behind the model.
