I did one many years ago, a Fairey Fulmar in 1/72 and had no problms with it. I can't remember who made it but it was a good manufacturer, using decent thick plastic.

As you know Mark, I have the 1/48 Hunter in my stash, awaiting it's turn. I can't envisage any real problems with that either, but I wouldn't like to try anything bigger than a fighter in 1/48....

Builder of aircraft, any scale from 1:1 to 1:144!
I fear the ways of the vacform. But I may just give it a go to add a Lincoln to the fleet... :o

The fear for vacvorms is mostly the fact that you have to get parts from all over the modelling community. For model A you would need:

Gear from Hasagawa kitnumber 0000
The wheels you will neeed from Zvesda kit number 000
and much more. And not even an good office :o
