Paul J Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 This is the Aurora 1/110th scale kit. I don't recall where I got it. But it was already built but I gave it the colourscheme its in now. What I would dearly love to know is how many of this kit still exist. The decals I used were from generic sets by Microscale. I know the decals are 1/72nd but fitted well on this refurb. The blue cheat lines were from stripe decals. I must , sometime, fit a pitot to the fin tip leading edge. Other than the Dragon/Italeri 1/200th C-141A and B kits, I know of no other ever being produced. EDIT/ PS: I remember where I got it now. Mel Bromley gave it to me back in the 1970s when we had a small club in Horsham!! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritJet Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Looks good to me - nothing wrong with using decals sold for one scale on a model in another scale as long as the size is right. Nova did the A and B as vacforms and Anigrand have done both in resin - all in 1/72 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Nova did the A and B as vacforms and Anigrand have done both in resin - all in 1/72 Steve I thought there might have been others in more recent years. But I would like to know how rare the Aurora kit, built or unbuilt, is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spad Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Lovely job! - Very nostalgic model, a mate of mine had one of those and I remember being so jealous of it! thanks for showing - can't beat that white grey scheme (he painted his silver...!) cheers Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 A really nice finished model and nicely decalled. Forgot about this one and only ever saw it in adverts, Lindberg kits always seemed to be a bit of hit or miss in terms of availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 There was a guy here in Aus who had one in his stash, it went very quickly when he offered to off load it about a week ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Fox Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Fantastic results from an ancient kit. Yes a rare kit indeed, even more so built and finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Had one back in the mid 70's,it was either the Starlifter or the Nitto's C5 Galaxy (money was scarce during those difficult days) and the Starlifter came out as the winner.It survived for a decade before I have to leave for higher education and that was it.I remember painting it silver and white.The grey didn't reach the Borneon coast until much later.......Anyway thanks for showing the Starlifter,it brought back a lot of happy and mischevious memories!
