Question 1:72 Sky-Stars (Dingler) DO X

Has anyone got this very unique model and can tell me if it is its price worth ???

http://www.sky-stars.com/images/Anz-...120207_NEU.pdf

It is written that this should be the largest and heaviest diecast model in the world... (66cm wing span and 5kg)

Except from the propellers (they look very plastic in their pure brown color) it looks realy good (may be someone has an idea how to up-grate them or knows a replacement...)

Well, I've got it and...

it is simply f a n t a s t i c !!!!!!

The 8 kg !!! parcel was send free within Germany and that model is a real unique must-have for all diecast collectors.

Very detailed and at ALL windows you can look through

And the price of € 199... well, for us here in Germany this are nearly 2 IF200 B707's or even less than two IF200 DC-8-61's... so no question if it is its price worth

Here some pics from another forum:

Wow ! What a great and huge model! Very detailled! It really worths the money spent on it. Would love to see a model like this wearing VARIG first colors.

I did the Do-X based on the revell kit years ago, that was a very nice model. It had Lufthansa decals and i think it was 1:144...
