This model is big.  This model is very big.  If you think a 1/72^nd scale model of a Hercules is big then think again, this model is a little bit bigger.  It is also a model of the utmost examples of precision and innovative engineering, though in one or two places it is a little wobbly.

A slightly longer review will appear in March 2006 edition of Scale Aviation Modeller International magazine. 

Oh, anybody thinking of tackling this kit must enjoy applying decals.  The decal sheet is massive, and must include every stencil adorning this mighty behemoth.

What is left to say, except where on Earth does one store the thing?  None of my display cabinets are large enough.  Oh well, down to the DIY store for some 45cm wide sheets of chipboard to knock up a cabinet.
