One other thing I love about LSM.

[Clunkmeister]

Is the apparent willingness to accept smaller scales of huge aircraft as legitimate LSMs.  My 1/48 B-36 is definitely a LARGE scale plane, as is my 1/72 An-22 and An-124. Both are the largest scales available for that particular subject,  and it’s awesome that they’re accepted.

[Mikester]

If you're crazy enough to build a 1/48 B-36 you deserve all the encouragement you can get!

[Martinnfb]

He is crazy enough    

[Ivan Ivanovich]

Pretty large planes for their scale. Yes, why not.

Variatio delectat.

[Clunkmeister]

And the Antei as well.  I have this corny belief.  I like to build the biggest model of any given subject. Except modern Russian jets. They’re too darn big for the 20of them has to do there...

We will see if my 1/43 scale DeAgostini Millenium Falcon pushes that definition! It’s 2x3 feet and weighs about 35lbs

[Clunkmeister]

Oooh. IL-76M. I’ve seen enough in operation that I’ve become a real fan of that big ol’ Vodka Burner.

I presume it hasn't anything to do with its NATO reporting name, right? <chuckles>

Once I had finished my second Amodel Il-76 they had to send me off to the loony bin for a couple of weeks.

I have their AN-8. I’m working ya the courage. Very, very few completed builds of that one.

Hey, I've got one as well! I also have the masters replica falcon. I like both but I can work on the DeAgostini Falcon and change the lighting set up etc.

Damn, all I've got is a pair of the  1/72 Bandai PG ones and the Fine Molds one to go with them. 

But I do have a 1/24 Viper MkII from BSG. Does that count?

I’ve never gotten into sci fi, except for Space 1999.

[Martinnfb]

talking about Space 1999 , have a look at this guys https://www.scifiairshow.com/commercial

[Bomber_County]

I have never built a Russian plane............ok let the abuse begin......

[harv]

I have several. But haven't built any.....yet.......... Harv

[BlrwestSiR]

I tried to build one. 

But it was the Trumpeter 1/32 Mig-15. 

Maybe when the newness wears off the Mig-29UB I'll try again.

If we're talking Russian/Soviet jets then I would go with the 1/48 scale guys, or HpH Mig-15 in case you're comfortable with resin.

Agreed 100%. The 1/48 Russian modern jet kits are exquisite. Kitty Hawk, GWK, ICM, AMK, all have beautiful renderings in 1/48.

HPH makes an exquisite 1/32 Mug-15 and some stunning Russian airliners in 1/72. Not to mention a truly stunning 1/48 IL-28 Beagle. 

[BlrwestSiR]

Does the Mig-31 Firefox count? After all, they had to get Clint Eastwood to steal it.

My one and only Russian plane turned out Finnish in the end and is far from being LS of M . The 1/72 Mig 15 made by Eduard is a gem and I have another single seater in my stash along with loads of resin and PE.

Ok, I am going to toss my hat in the ring...................... I like it, too,  as it is LS Modeller, which in my little mind opens the door, and if it gets closed, make sure my fingers are not in the way, but does it open the door for maybe 1/25 scale trucks and or cars? I build trucks too, and that is technically 'large scale' is there a place here for those possibly?

[GusMac]

Done the Trumpy Mig-23MF and it's a decent build. Not perfect but with a bit of research you can work out the pitfalls and get on top of them. Over time I've found the landing gear sags a bit but I think that's more to do with the wacky design rather than the kit.
