sinistervampire319 Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Have that in my still need to finish pile. Got a nice walkaround of one at Beale a few years ago. See link. http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/alan_davilla/rq-4b_global_hawk_05-2023/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 What...you want another Me-109? Or F-35A? At least this is different. I'll warn you - in 1/48, it'll be a big model. The actual aircraft has a 131 foot wingspan. I could wish for an RQ-4A, there are more potential marking variants (all-white test aircraft, "tuxedo" gray-and-white initial deployment scheme, U.S. Navy dark gray scheme, and NASA all-white scheme). And am eagerly awaiting a decent MQ-4C kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Cool - I built one of the first release and it's a decent kit You may have to adjust or change the sensor layout a little as these things have a habit of changing over the time, but the airframe is still basically the same. 4 hours ago, mattcour said: Was it desired so badly?? Lots of untouched interesting subjects requiring attention and you get this? It's a re-release, so little effort expended. I do wonder sometimes why disinterested people feel the need to comment to mention their disinterest 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Good to hear it's a decent kit. I have enough shelf space. I'm going to give strong consideration to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember your build. You did a super nice job! Sorry I didn't have those walkarounds when you built it. But I don't really think you needed them. I am still going to finish mine someday. Wanted to do the RQ-4B Block 20. It would seem I waited too long and now they have been upgraded to the EQ-4B BACN! 10 hours ago, Mike said: I do wonder sometimes why disinterested people feel the need to comment to mention their disinterest I know right? See this all over (un)social media and other forums. Cheers, Alan Edited March 25, 2020 by sinistervampire319 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exdraken Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 good to see it back! wonder if some adjustments for other versions/ sensor packages will come in the future! big? yes,.... but an interesting shape nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Might get one this time around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleeperService Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 May be going off-topic a bit but... Are there any decent references for this and other drones? I've got the first release and it's stalled as I can't find much about it that makes sense to me. Ah 131ft wingspan that's the other reason it's not built yet Nice job on yours Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 There are a fair number of photos available online. Be sure you have the right version, though. The Global Hawk family has a lot of minor branches. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bell209 Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 I've got one to build as an MQ-4C Triton. Pity there's no conversion kit but there aren't a lot of differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMSLion Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 More than you might think. The Platz RQ-4N (sic) kit completely misses the reshaping of the nose section. A Triton has a significantly blunter nose (it was designed to house an anticollision radar), not to mention the EO/IR turret. About the only change they got right on that kit is the radome for the search radar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
