lksavidge Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 This C-17A is another of one my builds after a 30 year gap in building models. This Charleston "T-tail" is from the 437 Air Mobility Wing, my last assignment after serving 30 years in the Air Force. It was a slightly challenging build, especially with me still learning to airbrush acrylics. The Revell kit is pretty basic which is why I added some extras plus I used DrawDecals that went on really smooth. In the last picture, I parked in next to a C-130, the kit I built just prior to the C-17. Next kit is a 1/144 Travis C-5M from Roden to complete my tour with Air Mobility Command. 57 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the C-5 turns out as nicely as your C-17 (and the C-130) it is going to be very nice indeed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lksavidge Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Thank you all for the kind words. I find that this is a very supportive group of modelers. I've seen some other sites where the critiques are quite abundant. I'd always welcome advice, suggestion or tips, but the positive attitudes makes this site very enjoyable. Thanks!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doom3r Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Nice build and looking forward for your C-5. However with that one built the absence of C-141 is going to be very noticeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Very nice. I like the subtle weathering, which is much more realistic than some, given how clean the USAF ones were kept. Regards Tim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky Keg Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 This pair will be complimented very nicely when you add the C-141 to it in due time. Your C-17 turned out great!!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
