Lockheed C5 Galaxy USAF 1/480

[Alex1978]

Actually I am an airliner modeller,but I also have interest in transport aircrafts and the Lockheed Galaxy is among my favourites.

I found this ancient little kit on a flea market for just a few bucks.

Its from "Sunny" and had been re-released over many years by different companys,also from Academy.

 

For its tiny scale,it is very nicely detailed and has fine engraved panel lines.

The kit consists of only about 20 parts,no landing gear,but a display stand.Fitting is very good and all parts are moulded nice and clean.

 

The decals were not to use anymore so I decided to get a new set from Draw Decals.I opted for the all grey Dover version.The decal set is,despite its small scale,very detailed and offers also the the complete black lines that are on top of the fuselage.

Applying them was the most fiddly part of the whole build.

 

The kit was painted using Testors enamels applied with an airbrush.

 

It was a quick and fun build for in between my other ongoing projects,but a 1/144 scale Anigrand kit is also waiting in my stash.

 

Enjoy the photos;

Now that's a tiny model of a huge plane! Very nice though.

A very nice Galaxy, guess that would be huge in 1:144.
