As memo serves the Italeri offres a kit serie of the Hercules. Also the Airfix. But it is needed the vacuform Airmodel kit AM-59.

I agree. Therefore my models are of the 1/72 scale basicly.

Looking at all the Italeri,Airfix, MPC kits I would say there is nothing what would stop me against making the part from scratch. Not very difficult to make it at all.
