Large Scale airliners

If you find one, I'd like to know too. I don't build airliners but a big scale will surely tempt me. My LHS has a huge Air Force One behind a glass for sale. I believe it is die-cast. I'm afraid of asking how much it is. They have to display it with just one wing, otherwise it wouldn't fit in the showcase. I'm guesstimating around 48'' inches wingspan.

Have a look on Ebay I picked up a Monogram (no longer in production sadly) B737 in 1/72 for about $45, Brathens SAFE decals for this kit were if memory serves about $12 plus postage from Two-Six decals. Not built yet but someday soon.

If anyone know of any others I would love to hear!

Cheers

Check EBAY.  I just saw a 1/72 scale 727-200 on there the other day. I don't know of any other large scale airliners in production.

El Taino brought up a valid point.  In 1/48th, those kits would be monstrous in both size & cost.   Last December, I bought the Anigrand 1/72 C-5 kit.  Its really big ( 3 ft long, 3 ft wingspan), & really expensive ($400). 

KMC made a mixed media 72nd 727-200 kit about 10-12 years ago, just before they went out of business, & back then the price was over $150. 

I just photographed this kit (don't have any info on it) yesterday:

Believe me, that suckers plenty big.

In 1:48 you might find some very old, tween the wars era stuff but very little if anything exists except for the DC-3. You could spend a lifetime replicating all of the airlines that flew and are still flying them!

Ye Gods, man, where would you put them? You must have an entire warehouse at your disposal?

Revell issued their Junkers Ju 52 in civil marking a few years ago.

I've got a couple 1/72 scale 727's ...which aren't for sale :D and a massive scale 747

Do we just email to place an order?    J/K, nice stash.  You have about 99.9% more airline kits than my LHS.  What is the scale of your 747, can't read the blur.  is it 1/72 as well or just 1/144?  The box is as big as the B-52 box above it.

RoG should make us a 1/48 A380, I've been looking for a reason to enlarge my daughters old bedroom.

Thanks, I inherited most of this from my father. This is only 1/4 of the stash, the rest of it is in a storage garage. 

That's a Entex 1/100 scale 747....I'm thinking it might go in Braniff colors.  

1/48?!?! Where would even you put that? I have both K/RC-135s, in 1/72.....massive birds even in that scale!! (the airframes is the base for the 707). IN 1/72 these planes are incredible difficult to get. Expect to by upwards of $70 on ebay, if you can even win one.

that mat its laying on is 18 inches long, btw.

the C-135 (original 717) and C-137 (707) are considerably different. The fuselage cross section is different, and the 707 is longer.

There are quite a few of the old AMT and Italeri 135s floating around, but they are expensive. If you want a 707 look for an Airfix AWACs.

new guy here :    i just bought a large 727 , 3 foot by 3 foot that was made into a wind mill type of thing...  trying to restore,  could use help on manufacturer and decals.

Heller made a 1/72 707 many years ago. Aircraft in Miniature (AIM) makes a load of 1/72 airliners altho they are vacs. They have a site but Hannant's also sells them. Someone makes 1/72 vac kits of late 737s, 727 and I think MD-80 series and some Convairs. Cooper Models sells them.
