I think I covered the McDonnell-Douglas A-12 Avenger II (the Flying Dorito) before, but it still looks like science fiction. Only a wooden prototype built.
This kit is in 1:48 scale, from Modelcollect

Funny you should ask, as it's the Modelcollect 1/72 Landkreuzer P.1000 Ratte which I actually tackled.
A runner up would be the Type IXc U-Boot by Revell, always 1/72.

Yessssssss!!! The 1/48 Flying Dorito from Model Collect has arrived! It's larger than I thought it would be, I think it will be an excellent model when completed. I'm excited!! Picked it up from Squadron. #modelbuilder #scalemodeling #scalemodel #modelcollect #48scale #a12avengerii #aircraft

Never heard of FlyHawk either.
🤣
Good to hear they are quality tho.
👍
A few years ago I did a Modelcollect T-72 (I think) in 72, that was very nice.

Modelcollect is a solid one with some great what-if subjects, I hope they keep up the good work.
They could improve on the color call outs though 🤔

Indeed, that specific territory is covered firmly by Modelcollect and Takom.
Still, it was my 2023 big summer project and it does sit happily on a big shelf now, throwing one of the six tracks 🤣

Latest off the bench:
1/72 Nakajima Mount Fuji Z-Bomber, version is a what-if project based closely on the Horten 18, Japanese Mainland, '46.
Kit was a Modelcollect one, very high quality.

Everyone will be aware of the B-2A Spirit, but it's unusual to find one in 1:72nd scale (from Modelcollect).

Overly ambitious for the late 80's, but very cool in appearance, the A-12 Avenger II "Flying Dorrito".

Despite what the listing and the box cover say, this seems to be a "what if" Focke Wulf 1000 in Japanese markings. From Modelcollect in 1:48 scale.
Not a Ki-74. Still Looks good though!

The A-12 (Flying Dorrito) development program sounds like a shambles, but it makes a great looking kit.
1:48 scale A-12 Avenger II from Fist of War (Modelcollect). I've heard fit can be an issue. YMMV.

The bulk of construction is complete!
The rest will be added post paint.
Modelcollect M983a2 with M870a1 semi.
Tetra model photo etch, Heavily reworked winch with added cable and hook, missing air filter supports added.
Pleased with that! And on 1/72 too, 35th would be massive!
