Yes please Aaron! Excited for this monster. (Even before its untimely loss).

I would suggest scaling it to fit on an A3-sized page. A lot of the bigger models follow this convention. Will help with formers, etc.

I'm doing the split fuselage trick that I usually do for large aircraft (the Sikorsky Mohave helicopter is the one I can think of off the top of my head.) I try to keep it to paper sizes available to everybody (I don't have a printer that can handle A3). I might offer a version scaled to A3 though, or at least add a column on the scale chart to get it to A3.

Murph, I use a paper size that I call 'ALetter'. It 8.25x11

This will fit A4 and Letter size.
Just my 2 pennies worth.

Wow! Aaron is a huge beautiful beast! Any idea the scale or size of future model?

*Stefan quietly wedges a 'this' between 'Aaron' and 'is'*

Yes a tentative scale would help in planning a Buron for this.

I've got it tentatively scaled to 1:100. Which is giving it a 35 inch wingspan. That's depending on whether I want to see if I can find a store with 8.5 x 14 cardstock, or if I can manipulate enough parts to fit onto 8.5 x 11. Staples says they carry it, so I'm gonna run really quick to see if I can get some. Watch this space.

35 inch wingspan?? You will need a separate storage building for it!

**murphyaa** · #**6449** 03-12-2022, 05:59 PM

Or you can use it as the storage building and keep smaller models in it. Pima Air Museum used to do that with their big cargo planes.

The way is open for AN-124 and C5 Galaxy
