HMCS, I built my second Thunderfighter in 1:18. The original Martin Sänger model is 1:32. I just estimated the finished build at about 21 inches. And no, the canopies do not open, that is for the next TF build.

Excellent!! My Achilles heel will be the cone shapes,... If anyone had the action figures from the 80's they would most likely fit in there

The best way that I have found to "ROLL" the cones, is to take a foam "old school" mouse pad (the kind that you can get at Wal-Mart for really cheep), put the part face down on the pad and either use a thin knitting needle or a chop stick to carefully roll the cone. Another thing that you can use, is the rounded side of a wooden ruler and (carefully) slide the rounded edge over the part to form the cone.

Either way you go, I wish you the best of luck with it.
