1/72 scale hanger

Posted by shannonman on Thursday, June 9, 2005 2:00 PM

Hi all,
Is there such a thing as a 1/72 scale aircraft hanger kit ? . I need one for an airfield diorama.
Also are there any 1/72 kits of modern gliders?.

This guy built a hangar out of card in 1/144. I don't see why you couldn't scale up the plans and add a little more detail. Good luck!

There is a modern Hardened Aircraft Shelter featured in the new Revell Eurofighter kit which also features all the starter trollies and Loading kit

Airfix made some building kits that could be adapted, but I think they are OOP.

Actually, the latest Squadron flyer had some Airfix buildings that could work.

I've done a lot of looking on this subject. If you're interested in a WW2 small, single aircraft hangar try Airmodel:

http://www.airmodel.de/shope/shope.html

There a couple of HO kits which are more modern at (just do a site serach for "hangar"):

reynaulds.com

This is about all I've been able to find. If you're inclined to scratch build one there are lot of HO scale building materials which should make it a fairly simple process.

Shannonman,
There are kits in Model railroading of hangers Oscale trains are nominally 1/48th
and S scale is 1/64th. You could change out the pedestrian doors and be close for
1/72nd scale, If you found an Sscale you probably wouldn't even have to change
those doors, Try the Walthers model RR site or catalog.
Good Hunting.

Badcat Toys makes a 1/32nd / 1/35th scale 1930's hanger. It's huge and
VERY pricey. http://www.badcataviation.com/hac191exbadc.html

I don't know a lot about gliders but I got two 1/72 glider kits.
Both are polish, a Gil and a Mucha. They look like very old kits, so they probably aren't modern aircraft.
Most glider kits that I have seen are old eastern european kits.
