@tamonten@mstdn.social It wouldn't surprise me at all, although the full size ED-209 model was very large and I think the pieces were vacu-formed, so those would have some from a. very large model!

@croyle@wandering.shop There was a vid from Tested this week with the full size at Tippett’s workshop which was what made me think about it.

It’s possibly the closest thing I’ve ever seen to being janky without crossing the line! It’s basically Home Depot lumber and coffee lids. It’s amazing.

But yes, vacuum formed from the F-14 would be in the 8:1 scale at least.

@tamonten@mstdn.social I saw that the video was up but haven't had time to watch it. But now I'll have to!... Back in the second half of the 80s I built a resin kit of ED-209 from Japan, it was quite good.
