QUOTE(aquilaTE @ Sep 27 2012, 05:21 PM) I just gotten back from Allscript and my all heck loads of my missing fighter planes issues. While I was looking at the Harrier, it states it's 1:72 but comparing to my F-14 1:72 and the other 1:100 in other issues, it's safe to say the Harrier is actually in 1:100 instead of 1:72. Hi aquila, R u the 1 tat at Allscript today around 2.00pm?.

Here's my planes scale comparison: » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «  Now very confuse liao but I think you are right. Even though the Harrier is suppose to be smaller than the Mig, it can't be THAT small compare with the same scale F14.

Go and measure them. I can't measure mine as harrier is at my condo. 1:72 harrier is 7.75 inches and 1:72 tomcat is 10.25 inches.

Maybe the swept wings of F14 make it look huge. And the Harrier was designed to be small so that it can lift off and land in small spaces.
