Battle of the planets Gatchaman G-1 kit size?

[172flogger]

Hi,

 

how big is a Gathaman G-1 kit with pull up motor?

 

Same kit was probably sold under Sunny, Entex, Bandai, Sea Horse and more brands.

Please can someone take a photo comparsion of the space ship compared to 1/72 jet fighters. F-16, F-5, MiG-21, F-15 etc.

 

This is kit which i looking for. Some reboxes were molded with white fuselage:

 

Thanks,

Afraid my copy of this one is too deep in the stash for a photo shoot at the moment, but the overall length and span are probably most comparable to the F-15 (out of those types you named). I'll try to get photos or measurements as soon as I have time.

 

The actual "scale" of the kit is rather questionable: the pilot figure provided is probably no larger than 1/100, but based on my impression from the series the airframe is potentially a bit larger than 1/72 (recalling amongst other things that it "transmuted" from a Cessna or similar!).

 

If this kit is of interest, you might also appreciate this news:
