Here's my 1/72 Boeing E-7T Peace Eagle, using the BPK kit. Built in the NATO group build - build thread is here. I enjoyed this one - it's quite a nice kit, one of those kits that mostly goes together well as long as you think about the best approach and don't rush in. Most of what you need is in the box although there are a couple of small omissions (anti-collision lights and decals for the metallic strips on the wingtip radomes). It stands out from everything else on the shelf - but mainly because it's huge! thanks for looking Julian

Crikey, this GB's been going nearly 2 months and I haven't started a build yet! I'm joining in with a Turkish E-7T Peace Eagle, with the 1/72 BPK kit. I recently decided to treat myself to a Wedgetail, it arrived this week, and I can't resist starting it straight away - this one won't be gathering dust in the stash. If I'd waited until the Made In Ukraine GB it would have been a Wedgetail. But Australia may be in Eurovision but it's not in NATO yet, so it's going to be a Turkish Peace Eagle instead. Here's what comes packed into a surprisingly small box: A lot of plastic, plus some PE, 3D-printed resin, masks and a nice looking decal sheet with Aussie and Turkish options. The reason they got it all in the surprisingly small box is the fuselage is broken into front and rear sections, with a plain butt join. The instructions would have you assemble the front and back sections separately and then join them, but I've built enough Amodel kits to know that you're better off assembling two complete fuselage halves and then joining them like any other kit. So that's what I've done - here they are taped together: It's going to be big! more soon Julian
