SeaVenom Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Nice to see a Galaxy but the problem is Roden can be a bit rough. I still find it annoying they put a nasty sprue attachment on the nose of the Globemaster. Hard to disguise it especially if you're doing a bare metal scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teeradej Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Separate flaps and slats... Nice touch! Parking C-5's Flaps and slats are left deployed most of the time I see them. Edit: I am curious how rather unusual looking of landing gears, gear doors and wheel well structures of the real thing are replicated into plastic. I used to improve/rebuild/scratchbuild undercarriage system on my Otaki kit... a bit pain especially complex arrangement of C-5 main gear doors.
