Radleigh Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Afternoon gang, I bought this kit (Revell 1/144th C-17) when Home Bargains had them for £7 (or £8, I can't remember the price?) a few months back, I bought it to convert and generally play around with modifying. No photos yet, but i'll get some up a bit later on. Fuselage half's are joined and I'm now just getting all the seams sorted, ready for some lumps and bumps to be added.. until later....

trickyrich Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 sounds interesting! You've got me with the designation code though? But while trying to figure out I found some super cool pics of an US Navy NC130H, didn't know they put an "AWACS" style antenna on one of those!!! there's a cool next project for you! http://users.telenet.be/C130/C-130otherpicturesdeel3.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radleigh Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Here you go Rich LINKY I'm going to loosely base it on the NKC-135's, similar sort of scheme, low vis markings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRIM REAPER Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Cool! I'm doing something similar with an EC-135. Like, what if Boeing decided to re-manufacture the C-135 series with composite materials. Sanded all of the reinforcing bands off, adding a few lumps and bumps, adding a long fairing to both sides of the fuselage, and some other stuff. Bigger engines. Winglets. Stuff like that. I guess the story goes that the Air Force wanted to replace the E-8Cs with something more modern. But, instead of spending billions of dollars on a new airframe, they would open back up the production line for the C-135s and manufacture them with composites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
