Orion Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Well done. I have not seen one in reality, but I can imagine it is massive. Regards, Dirk The Netherlands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Cornes Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 It would be really useful if you could confirm which Xtradecal sheets you used - thinking about ordering the appropriate stuff for Telford! Thanks Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Very nice build and great finish. I hope the RAF's aircraft will get some sort of squadron markings like 99's C17s. I'm also glad we are getting a 144th scale kit. Much as I'd like this one I've no idea where it would live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Simon I'm thinking X72157 for the lettering and X72165 for the roundels/fin flashes? Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spfparker Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Am just about to close the fuselage up on my build - Do you know if the 80g noseweight suggested in the instructions is enough??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampartiger Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 My utmost admiration to you for being able to complete such a monsterous plane,a venture not many modellers would wish to go through due to the fact that most of us are assigned to the smallest room in the house for modelling.Beautiful and convincing model.You have done a great job!

Takamota Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Am just about to close the fuselage up on my build - Do you know if the 80g noseweight suggested in the instructions is enough??. I think so but i put 90 in mine to make sure. Not that it would have mattered in the end as it was pinned to the base ultimately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunners Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The A400 is such a beast, I spend a lot of time at Toulouse airport and watching the Airbus test pilot throw them about in the circuit is just amazing. Lovely model, might have to think about trying one of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempestwulf Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 The Royal New Zealand Air Force has considered these as replacements for our aging/ancient (50 years for some) C-130H's but it's a toss up at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
