Re: Corgi to release a B-52 in 1:72 scale???

It would be a big one. With a wing span of 185ft and fuselage length of 159ft 4in, model in 1/72nd scale should come in at 30.83 inches on wing span and 25.56 inches on fuselage length.

...yea, and drop it on your foot...

Oops! I ment: ...yea, and don't drop it on your foot...

Would be worse than dropping one of the Marshin models on the old foot.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

I'd rather have a 1:72 hercules with a working ramp.

I am hoping for the same thing.

A 1/72nd B-52 could be done ( no doubt it would be expensive, though). I know these are plastic, but Monogram's classic B-52D and AMT/Ertl's short tail birds come to mind.
Now, if you want a real piece of heavy metal, how about a 1/144th scale diecast C-5?

Re: Corgi to release a B-52 in 1:72 scale???

If Corgi is listening---remote chance though that may be---- a very cool idea would be to put out a B-47 and B-36 in 1:144th scale. Then you would have a set, including the existing B-52 mold, just like the British V bombers, that should appeal to many collectors. As for a 1:72nd scale rendition of the B-52, that seems a bit risky, considering Corgi's current situation.

I like the idea of making the B-47 and the B-36. I'd like to add the B-58 to the U.S. list. Also, if Corgi added the Vickers Valiant to the mix, they could then offer a true V-bomber set- IMO, that would be a big seller for them.
