New topic. I'll be linking some of the more interesting box art from the Facebook Group - Fantasy Kit World.

Work in progress ::

I am giving up listing them. They all end up on the shelf of procrastination anyways.

I should really get on and build some of the big kits I have in the stash, I've got a Gene Hooker 1/72 C-133 waiting to be built someday.

Perfect an XP-67 with a fairly correct outline, thick parts with trenches for panel lines, questionable kit
design and engineering in terms of parts breakdown* and the outer wing panels, main fuselage, engine
nacelles and empennage different colours.

 ;D

*
Entire empennage and rear fuselage separate, main fuselage including inner wings split along horizontal axis
into top and bottom sections, engine nacelles separate and split along vertical axis, outer wing panels separate.
Fit of nacelles to fuselage/inner wings and fit of outer wing panels to nacelles will be crap requiring excess PSR.
Ditto fit of rear fuselage/empennage. Only saving grace of nacelle design is that "re-engining" will be relatively
straightforward.

 ;)

It's not that far to stretch the imaginations Carl, The Belfast is just as big as the Airbus A400M so if Revell can do it, I'm sure Airfix can too.

Convincing box top.   Yes  --  It's not that far to stretch the imaginations Carl.

Airfix:   How about a 1/72 XB-15 followed by the Short Belfast.   How about it ?

Then use the XB-15 wing on a Model 314 Clipper?
