Ideas about Structures!?




Ideas about Structures!?
---------------------------------
The recent announcement of the 1/150 Tomytec "modern housing" series has made me think about a pending project about resizing the Airfix 1/76 Control Tower.
.
Is it only my imaginiations of does the Tomytec House "D" have some potential as an Airfield control tower?
.
Failing that, the Airfix 1/76 Control Tower is essentially a "flat packed kit". So it should be fairly easy to pop it upon a scanner or photo copier and reduce it in size for 1/144?
Some further work would need to be done to rebuild some features from scratch, but use of a good qaulity card or printiable plasticard should make this an interesting adventure!?
.
if you model in scales other than 1/144 you might like to check out the flightpath website
.
If you are lucky enough to live in Japan, you can of course just order one from
1/144 Yokosuka Military Model Arsenal ("YSK")
