1/72 scale C-5 Galaxie

One of the guys at our local model club is building the ID 1/72 Galaxy and had it there last night. Without fail everyone who saw it for the first time was gobsmacked by the size of it. A 1/72 Spitfire can sit on its back and its wing tips wont reach the C5's wing roots!
It is a monster, you can keep the rest of your collection inside it!

A 1/72 Galaxy ? this sounds like the sort of kit that Trumpeter would do (anyone from Trumpeter listening???) failing that is the kit collecters clearing house still going?and have you tried companies like www.kingkit.co.uk or posting a wanted add online somewhere? Greg
HEY Shaggy Thanks for the site tip ...Greg

The company that bought the molds was Dynavector Models I do believe and included some resin. However, I too am looking for this model, but can not find website or a vendor. Last price was killin' a $100 dollar bill.

If you can't find the 1/72 scale C-5. Entex did a 1/480, and Revell did a C-5 in 1/144. Both of these kits can be found on the auction sites from time to time.

The 1/72 C-5 was featured a few years back in FSM. It was a very large vacuformed kit out of England. Originally issued by ID Models. The molds were sold to another firm whose name escapes me. They made it for a short time but now I believe the kit is currently out of production. I just did a search on the Hannants website and I can't find it there. Hey Shaggy thanks for the 72scale link info. Sometime I think I'm the only one who still builds 72nd scale airplanes!!!
