Right said FRED! 1/144 Lockheed C-5B Galaxy
Habu12 posted a topic in Ready for Inspection - Aircraft
I spent half my childhood in the shadow of arrivals and departures from Norton AFB. The sight and sounds of C-141s and the occasional C-5 was ever present. Up until 1994. So this is the Roden kit, built OOB, but in the Euro I scheme that I would see at airshows and around my house in Redlands. So I ponied up the $131 for this kit because of nostalgia. However, that's not a good value for this kit. It was plagued with flash on most parts. All the major parts, wings, fuselage, tail, engine nacelles all had flash on them. All 28, yea, 28 wheels were TWO PIECES! What deranged designer decided this? The decals were mediocre and only had one version. For a 21st century kit of this price point, I really expected more. Three star kit ⭐️⭐️⭐️ However, the old C-5s I knew as a kid live in this representation, and I'm happy.
