You guys are hilarious! Oh, look...it pooped a chute...a poop chute! Building any diorama (I have never biult one) on this monster whould be huge! I wonder how big the Ch-47 is in 1/35? Pretty close to the same size, I'd guess.

Yes. Sexy like Danny Trujillo.

I heard some folks won't build this kit because it's 1/35 and not 1/32. I don't get that... Looks like a real fun build to me. It would be cool if they downsized it to 1/72 eventually for us real estate challenged modelers...

I was looking at a couple of build reviews on this thing. I don't remember on which one, but there was some grousing on that point. I don't do dioramas, so 1/32 or 1/35 doesn't matter to me. It was the subject I wanted. What does that work out to? twenty-seven inches rather than 30?

Would be a great display diorama with it hauling a tank away in the air.

New one coming out....

I agree. If the subject is big enougH! I have no idea where I'm going to put this thing.

Do the rotors fold on the Skycrane?

If you push on them hard enough!

Y'all must be robbing banks to buy these kits. I'll wait for the 1/72 kit.

But it was on sale! And I got another 9.00 taken off….it was my birthday present .
