Yes but in three dimension....twice the width twice the length and twice the depth so it would take eight 1/72 models to occupy the same space :-O.......well a bit more as that would be for 1/64 scale :lol:

Cor, about 40 years ago, I would have killed someone to get my hands on a 1/72 Valiant! Shame that they took so bloody long, I have grown out of plastic kits......at least 30 years ago!

I've got the Airfix Vulcan, the Revell Victor K2 and the Mach2 Valiant and, as SWMBO continues to inform me, a small modern house. What she would say if I dug out the B-36 Peacemaker in 1/72 I dread to think..................


New Year's resolution; I must make some models. I think I can keep to that one.
