I am sure most of you seen this at perthmilitarymodelling but this thing looks huge and original!

Any more info on this? Plastic or resin? Release date? I've never heard of RP models before.

Unbelievable!!
And the fine art of scratchbuilding goes down the drain!!

Where is this going to end??? Rhine bridge in Arnhem (including buildings of course)??, Reichskanzlei?? ...

And a clear instruction sheet "how to rob a bank" for the financing!

Cheers

Just learned that this is a 52 inch resin kit in 1/35. Wowzers. To be released in mid-March... I wonder if it's going to be like $1000 USD.

I have a fairly large workbench(partly taken up by a mill and lathe), but don't think I have enough space for this. Looks like I wouldn't be using the dinner table for things like eating.

you could use this set to show the bridge being relieved as in "The Longest Day"

Looks great. And while building it the proper "inspirational musik" will involve bagpipes
