OK, so this would be an enormous 1:5 model, but I don't have any 1:2400 planes for this

Wish there was an angle to see more of the cockpit

Should have done one of the "models" in intermediate blue and earlier insignia for more contrast

Got some Preiser N-scale figures for another project, but these really add some life to this dio

Now it's complete - I don't want to open it again 😉
Of course, the displays could use some infographics...for another time, maybe...

😀😀 After all the 1:700, 1:144 scale is a fun change 😉

Just received a set of N-scale figs for another project and thought they would work well with this one as well - posed the ones that work with it - will paint up with the other figs
Nice to know that N-scale works with 1:144 (pics 17-21) 🙂

Album info

Needed somewhere to put my most recent 1:144 airplanes. Realized a museum would also have models of planes, so threw in some 1:700 planes for ambiance.
