Revells 1:144 C-17 Globemaster


Recommended Posts

OK guys, I bought this while ago, before Revell released the RAF version so that is why it's the US one with RAF decals separate.

Open opening the box for the first time tonight I uttered, "Oh hell!" What have I done!

Here is the box shot

Any issues that you guys know of that I need to avoid would be welcomed.

Cheers

You are starting yours way earlier than I will be - I'm not starting mine until end of Sept!

You tell me that now! I was going to follow your lead! :winkgrin:

Thanks guys. Remember, if it goes pear-shaped it's your fault! Well I wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for

this GB! :D

Well the mo-jo is on a slow, but some progress has been made on this build.

I noticed from photographs of the real a/c that some raised detail on the kit does not really exist or is too pronounced.

Usually I just build OOB but I thought I'd have a go at making these corrections.

Here you can see the raised detail on the kit....

and a poor photo of it removed....

The seats in the cargo bay need painting and here is the port side after the masking was removed...

a little tidying up required.

Tanks for looking.
