How Many Four Engined Biggies Do You Have?

Taking 1:72nd scale or larger diecast models only, I have eight four engined biggies in my collection---3 B-17s, 2 B-24s, 2 Halifaxes and 1 Lancaster---all in 1:72nd. If someone does a FW-200 I will add it and the same holds for an Emily, Short Sterling, Short Sunderland , Mavis, C-130 and a B-47. I'd have to think twice, space-wise, about real biggies like the B-36, B-52, Bear or Bison to say nothing about some of those gigantic Cold War era transports. What about you guys?

Re: How Many Four Engined Biggies Do You Have?

Too many, if you ask the wife!

1 B-17, 1 Lancaster, 3 B-24s

I know they aren't 1/72 scale, but the two 1/144 Corgi B-52s I have seem to take up just as much room!
