I'm waiting for someone to do an injection molded plastic version in 1/72. My ADF aircraft collection is all 1/72 and I refuse to deviate from that parameter simply because a subject is to big. That goes for the P-8 bloody Poseidon as well! Looking forward to the build as usual.

Cheers :) Just gotta take a pause due to multiple car issues!! There is a 1/72 c-17 rumoured -it will be pricey though… But I decided I’d try the Anigrand one. It’s missing some details and has some inaccuracies but overall it looks c-17 ish :) Best D

RAF Fairford is where I will be headed in late September with C17 & maybe Ralph as well !!!, I wish. Scheduled Exercise flight. Then I have Airline to & from Heathrow for a few trips in November. Great fun... Don't remember much about my last trip to Fairford other than it was nigh on freezing, real brass monkey stuff & that was about 5 years ago. Didn't go out the entire time we were there, wonder why... I will just grab a map & compass, not that big a country, sure to come across it sooner or later...

Hey dude, Have you seen the 1/144 scale by revel i think of this plane. I dont have one to go on but i think the detail of this kit might give you some better ideas on the problem areas as i heard its a good bit if kit for detailing ...

This is going to be a classic build. I'm finding my build a bit frustrating at the moment but overall I think the kit is a nice one. Lots of filling & sanding down for sure, I'm trying to do a wheels down version & yes you hit the nail on the head with the wheel wells , doors, etc. The nose as you say isn't quite the reflection of the real plane itself but let's look at it from this point if view. Its a model kit & their will always be some inaccuracies in these kits & that just makes building them so much better. It provides challenges. I may have mentioned I saw a C5 model of Anigrand completed & displayed at a show & the builder said it was a nightmare build but fun. It was painted in a camoflauge scheme and looked superb and I could not believe the details to the build this Gentleman put into it and that's why I think your build will rival if not better the likes of that I have seen on any models. Like I said it will be a classic I'm sure of it. Cheers. John.

Thank you :) Yes it’s actually a nice kit - no worse than most italeri kits :) I’m undecided on the wheels. 🛞 I can fabricate an approximation but I’m more worried about the weight. I can’t believe you got to fly this beauty :) She is literally a beauty :) I agree - it’s a model :) as long as o can shove my paras out of it in what if land I’m happy 😃 It’s such a capable aircraft. It really is a force multiplier. I wonder why they didn’t do a tanker version - hmm 🤔

I had all the original Ivor Bigguns albums. Not suitable for family listening but very funny in a peurile way! Can’t wait to see this one built. Definitely one to take your time over and make it a flagship, sorry, flagboat, of the Air Force😊👍🏼

About having the landing gear down would look mean,but also flying is also a nice pick,in relation to the making of the doors is a big job but however you do it enjoy the kit.

Awesome, Yep, Got to fly her & still do on & off with sort of reservist type duties as pilot in command & this is happening due to a decline in Air Crew Graduates at the moment. Have done C130, P8 as well. My all time love is the F111 & myself & the Old Man flew a lot of the 2012 final farewell tours of this type of aircraft, a truly Great airplane. I think that in time the air force will pick up numbers but like Dad said they also could do with a full time sort of reserve commitment because mine can only be hit & miss depending on commercial duties. I would have stayed in the air force but for the probability of wanting to go commercial eventually so I opted out. Its actually worked out quite well because I get to stay in touch with that which is going on & at the base it's great to go there as it's a different type of camaraderie than that of flying commercial so it's really good. It keeps myself focused right around the sphere of flying in both aspects. Cheers John

@@dtrain1634 Thankyou, But I'm just doing what a few of the other Guys do here. It helps out that's the main thing. Having said that I've got to get even with a few Towns folk, Guys from the base & my old man & the snr searg here in Gatton. Yesterday one of them stuck a courier type satchel in the post box & my wife brought it in & said it looks kind of formal, I said yea right, another false birth cert. for Ralph or adoption papers or is it a fake speeding fine or parking ticket, she handed me a micro cassette even came with its own player & right then I knew it. Quite clever what they did though but i wouldn't admit that to them. Mission impossible type recording which starts out good morning Mr Woodall & carries on & of course it has to do with Ralph & playing in the background was the IM movie theme. A classic gotcha or so they think. And at the end should you or any of your ARM team (Anti Ralph Mission) Team be caught the Government will deny all knowledge. Yep, just as I thought I said to Bridget. She said quite clever which as mentioned yes very clever the so & so's. Wait until Friday at the base. Cheers...
