1/72 Area 51 UFO AE-341.15B model kit (8.25" Dia)
=======================================
This is 1/72, but at 8.5 Inches, i think you might get away with putting this up against a Anigrand or Unicraft Hanebau???? the model whilst interesting doesnt give to many clues as to a natural scale? It would be much larger than the WOTW Martians...

1/187 German WW2 aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin

Announced at the Chicago Hobby Industry Trade Show in October of 2008.

The re-established Hawk/Lindberg kit company (USA) just issued the German WW2 aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin model in 1/187 scale.

I do not know why the weird scale. But the kit has about 1,000 parts, including 50 aircraft in this scale, and a lighted and detailed hangar deck. Wowsers!

The ship model will be 55 1/4 inches (1403 mm) in length! The wingspan of the Ju-87 will be 2.9 inches in that scale. (not sure that wingspan sounds right?)

planned for late in 2009.

It is a shame that Lindberg did not go the extra mile and release this in 1/144, A missed opportunity I think! ??? :o(

it comes with its own aircraft, or maybe you could replace with 1/200 metal items or 1/160? I think 1/144 would be too large...

1/144 Barnes Wallis "Swallow" SST (1955)

1/144 Barnes Wallis "Swallow" SST (1955) ==================================
those Anigrand or Welsh Models V-bombers not enough?
the Wolfpack or CafeReo Tsr-2 not enough?
the Minigwings CF-105 not enough?

from 'Barnes Wallis' creator of the Wellington Bomber, the "bouncing bomb" made famous by the 617 Sdn attack on the Ruhr?

The 'Next Generation' concept of supersonic flight!?

not sure i like the new cockpit layout, but it does appear to reflect the original drawings more closely

====================
.
This long awaited kit is now available for order from the guys at Miniwings.
http://www.miniwing.cz/Avro/Avro_CF_-_105/

A nice looking kit in its own right, and would look good with the Fantastic Plastic Avro 730, or the forthcoming V-Bombers from Anigrand, or the TSR.2 from Cafe.Reo or Wolfpack Designs.

1/144 AModel C-130
-----------------------
.
Amodel have released their C-130 kit, if it is anything like the recent Lancaster these should be very high quality and work adding to your collection if you like modern aircraft!

Looking at the length, it would appear to be an early version?

also, these picture are of the pre-production prototypes!
http://modelizm.pl.ua/publ/10-1-0-351

It would appear these should be in your model shops soon!

....Now, I wonder when they are going to release that 1/144 Manchester RAF bomber?

The guys at Wargame Factory have asked if I would share this with you!
They make items in response to the pubic demand! - A great idea, if you ask me!
