Anyone know what scale this is in? I've seen one for sale and am intrigued.
-
Rickshaw built one on the Whiff site. Appears to be 1/50.

It is tempting to buy it and do something similar to what he did.

As a representation of the Gnat it's pretty bad, only good in general outline. It is advertised at 1/50 but I must admit, I never measured it to see, as I wasn't interested in what scale it purported to be but what scale I was going to make it. Damn expensive. If I was going to do it again, I'd go with the Aeropoxy 1/48 Gnat. Cheaper and much nicer from the pictures. Not covered in massive blobs representing rivets.
-
So, would $10 for one be reasonable?
-
Extraordinarily. I paid five times more in the end for mine. :(
-
Then we'll see if I win it. I like the approach you took and I'll likely be doing something similar, likely using a Gnat T.1 canopy.
-
Go for it. I'll look forward to seeing your effort.

Well, I won it and now I'll need to purchase a Gnat T.1 and other goodies to fit it out. I've got a few ideas I want to play with.
