Well, OK, I see they have some other 1/700 scale releases of the F105 and a telephone pole AA missile with a tractor and trailer, but my question is-- is there a market for these 1/700 scale beauties? They are nicely molded, and quite detailed for thier size. I can see the need for 1/700 scale carrier/shipboard based aircraft, but is there a demand for 1/700 attack aircraft and AA missiles? I'm not tying to be difficult, I'd just like to know if there are modelers with microscopes working in this scale? If so, what would you do with them -- an airfield diorama perhaps? I know there's at least one modeler who has done some amazing diorama work in his scale, are there others?

There is a growing number of builders working in the 1/700 scale range. I have seen a few cool 1/700 airfield dios popping up. Tom's must see a enough of a need to create them. I know they carry a number of aircraft upgrades along with their ship stuff. LOL...good magnification is a must!
