T O P I C R E V I E WcspgNot space-related but NASA-related so I thought it was appropriate to mention this 1:200 model from Herpa: NASA Northrop Grumman RQ-4 Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicles are becoming increasingly popular worldwide. Among the largest representatives is the RQ-4 Global Hawk, not only operated by the Air Forces of the USA and Germany, but also used by the space agency NASA for meteorological research.alexbajaI like Chris, it would be a nice addition to my collection as being NASA related.cspgI'm not planning to be part of your collection. Saturn VThanks for posting this one. It looks nice and worthy of a build.By the way, I would like to have you in my collection Chris. I could put you on a shelf and you could spew out release dates for new stuff whenever I walk by. alexbaja quote:Originally posted by cspg:I'm not planning to be part of your collection. Don't worry Chris, I will definitely find some shelf space to put you on. I hope you do not drink to much beer because then you will be an expensive exhibit in my collection. Apart from that, I think that you do a fantastic job in researching space models, keep it up. cspg quote:Originally posted by alexbaja:I hope you do not drink to much beer because then you will be an expensive exhibit in my collection. Beer? Isn't there something more tastefully delightful in Malta? (oh, and I weigh 200 pounds, FYI for your shelf structure!). cspgTwo other versions of this model have been announced: Model #555340 Luftwaffe Northrop Grumman RQ-48 Global Hawk Model # 555357 USAF Northrop Grumman RQ-48 Global Hawk 9th RW, 12th RS Beale AFB cspgBoth models, the NASA one and the USAF Beale AFB models, are available for pre-order from the Flying Mule, $58-$67 with a planned June release.PeterONASA's Global Hawk is a YRQ-4A, which is a smaller aircraft than the operational RQ-4B. The specs of the two Herpa models show the same wingspan, 7.75", which translates to the 131' span of the RQ-4B. NASA YRQ-4A Wingspan: 116.2'Length: 44.4'RQ-4BWingspan: 130.9'Length: 47.6' The two aircraft have the same basic configuration, so if the size difference doesn't bother you, it will still look like a Global Hawk.cspgHerpa's website mentions the model as available. I guess it still has to be distributed.cspgGot mine today (for once it was cheaper in Switzerland than ordering from the US). Nice model. Even at 1:200 it is still small- I guess that's why they call them miniature. It's my first model at 1:200 from Herpa. On the back of the model box it says "limited edition". I haven't seen (or recall) this on 1:400 or 1:500 models from Herpa.cspgListed as available from the Flying Mule.
