Jessica Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 No I haven't got them yet, but based on those sprue shots that's going to change Here's a closer look into the box and here's one finished. I've got the AN-22 which is surprisingly unlike other EE kits I've seen. There's no need to fear such monstrosities as the 737 series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niles Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 As an enthusiast of not perfectly engineered, perhaps primitive, short run kits of unusual subjects from manufacturers such as Amodel and a few others, I'd say this looks outstanding, an excellent piece of work. T.E. Lawrence once wrote, "Nine tenths of tactics are fixed and taught in books: but the irrational tenth is like the kingfisher flashing across the pool, and that is the test of generals." Amodel and its kin are the irrational tenth of model making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great photos; at first I thought they were reference shots of the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adey m Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Your Il-38 on the realistic airfield apron with natural light has got to be one of the best model presentations I have seen in a long time......it looks like photos of a real aircraft. ....fantastic galaxygirl......and I cannot believe it is your first post too cheers, Adrian.

busnproplinerfan Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 This is a great looking build, don't know how I missed this topic till now. I have space problems to. I also had cases made for my planes, having more made up now. You definitely are coming in like a lion. I like these multi engine behemoths. I have the Amodel Cleat waiting to come into the skunkworks. Want to get an Il-18, just expensive. Cases or planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave N Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 This is just amazing. I've never seen one of these before and had to look twice to check they weren't pics of the real thing. Most excellent work, look forward to seeing more from you.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
