MENG is set to unveil the DS-007 1/72 Dune Atreides Ornithopter model kit
If the price is right, I’m in.
Squadron has it on pre-order for $88.49 with an estimated delivery the end of June.
Unfortunately, if the price is wrong, I’m still in.
Cheers,
Colin
Looking for a 1/32 and THEN I am in!!
You must be kidding, with a wingspan of 72cm at 1/72, the 1/32 version would be almost twice the B-17 wingspan at the same scale!!
And the problem is? LOL!
The price is o.k. for me.

If you want it bigger, go with the LEGO kit.
