Very nice indeed! A bit pity that there is so many much cheep old passenger machines (converted to cargo) on the market, that concept of civil variant of C-17 was abandoned after production of this one piece...

Thanks for the comment. Pretty straight forward kit with some filling and sanding required. Give it a try.

I'd certainly like to build a C-17, but preferably in /172 scale. 1/144 is a bit too small for my shaky fingers. Would love a C-124 Globemaster II, also in 1/72 scale but doubt we'll see it in injection molded form.

I think there is a resin kit available (Anigrand perhaps?) but I believe it demands a lot from the builder's skills and persistence.

If Kinetic were considering a mass-produced kit in 1/72 (as a contributor has suggested above), I'd be much desiring to get one.

Anyway, @Mark Strasser, your build is very nice!  A real break from the usual pale grey all-over schemes that most operators of the type use.

👍:goodjob:

This is a great rendition of the real aircraft - I always thought it would make a great model!

I helped load the Emir's S-92 into this a few years back. It looked identical to a military C-17A to me - it's even crewed by a hybrid USAF/Qatari Air Force crew.

Very, very impressive. Can I ask were they the kit decals or after market and where did you get the stand? Thanks, Billy

Thanks for the positive comment. The stand is a folding picture frame stand and I added a clear front stake. Just thinking out off the box.
