Bonhoff Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Should have been finished as part of the "Lesser Built Airforces" GB but time was against me. Build http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234973889-qatar-boeing-c-17a-globemaster-completed-at-long-last/ Glad it's finally over and done with as I've now got the spray booth back but wondering where to display it - it works out at a whopping 14" wingspan..... and that's in 1/144th scale. Built OOB - You will need a little bit of weight in the nose - Mine was fine until I fitted the tailplanes at the end - Managed to feed a couple or three cut up airgun pellets through the nosewheel well to sort that problem out. Used Tamiya and Gunze paints - Decals came with the kit but you'll need lots of Microsol to apply to them as some are expected to settle in 3 different dimensions at once, they did settle down very well in the end though. Revell thoughtfully (and thankfully!) supplied extra burgundy decal as well as some black lining should your walkways go awry. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob P Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Love the Quatari scheme. What grey did you use for the top surface? (I have an A330 waiting for paint). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchem Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That's turned out really well Bonhoff. I was watching it progress during the Group Build so I'm really glad it made it over the finish line. Well Done :thumbsup2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Nice and sharp and crisply finished, just how I like them! Are the front steps part of the kit or scratch built? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Thanks all. Turbofan - Steps are included in the model as an option, you can have wheels up or down, cargo doors open or closed, there's a full cargo bay and basic cockpit, only thing missing are flightcrew. Snitok - not sure what the plantlife is, think it's some kind of rockery plant. Seems to be in scale though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
