A-57  >>  Reference material says 260ft long.
130ft as 1/72 would still be a big jet flying boat.
Looks to need a calm sea state.

Tempted to do the A-57 as a high speed, civilian luxury flying boat airliner.  Maybe in Aeroflot scheme dropping bigwigs to Cuba...

Between Fantastic Plastic, Anigrad and Real Space, I've spent likely 5  years of discretionary funds on resin in the last month.


I'm sure it was all a good idea.

Fantastic Plastic Models Re-Release Survey 2017

Over the past few years, we have received dozens of requests (and orders) for many of our "retired" kits. With the exception of our "Star Wars"-related products -- which we can no longer sell due to that pesky 2009 C&D from LucasFilm -- we are happy to bring these classic kits out of retirement...if demand is sufficient to justify the costs of a new production run.

Which retired kits would you like to see back in the Virtual Museum Store? Here's your chance to tell us.

The linked survey below -- which appears on our website -- lists the retired kits we regularly get requests for. Look over the list and vote for your favorite(s). Yes, you can vote for more than one.

http://fantastic-plastic.com/re-release-survey.html

A kit needs at least 50 votes to be considered viable for resurrection. Please, only cast a vote if you are serious about buying the kit within the next 12 months. This is the only way we can make an economically sound decision.

Please submit your choice(s) before June 15, 2017.

Until then...

For those with deep pockets, you can always use this as the start of a Stratos 4 "MS" version that's air-launched from under the wing of a B-60.

It would be Greg, taking another one for the team and pathing the way for a near future arrival of an affordable injection moulded kit.
