1/48 scale C-17

Recieved this via E-mail from a friend. Anybody else hear anything ?

Hmmm .......... I guess I might like to know the price before I "pre order" (:>

a company url or address would help, too.

Now where is that 1/24 C-5 they promised???

OOOO...OOO-OOO - how many pallets of free kits come packed inside it?

which one had the working landing gear?

maybe if we send $50,000 to his brother in Nigeria we can get in on it early....

That was the 1/72 INJECTION MOLDED one, that someone saw once in a hobby shop.

The claimant was thought to have gotten to the Mon-Keys stash of fermented banana juice.

What happened to Dan Winfield, does anyone know? Was the trauma of building the Williams Bros. B-10 more than he could bear?

Lat I heard the Mon-key had Dan straitjacketed, ducttaped to a trike and was forcing him to watch while he drank banana brew and used Testors tube glue and square bottle gloss paints on Dan's stach of Williams B-10's.....

ah so. sorry, don't know the gentleman.

are those really that bad? i've only ever heard of one built, saw pics but no commentary with it. very cool plane.

Could this be true that they are doing a 1/48 scale kit of the C-17 Globemaster. Yes , I bet this would be a really Big Kit

If it scales out at 39'' (i'm guessing that's the length) wouldn't that make the Wing Span about 4 ft. If it weighs in at around 10lbs or better how could you use Plactic for the Landing Gear, wouldn't they bend or just snap after setting there for a while

He say at least 250 parts maybe more.

Well if they have the Kit made just what exactly is the number of Parts in the Kit.

Damn ....... It would be just Soooo KewL to have just One of these

I myself would love to know if ths is for Real or Not. Does anyone know more about this and if it's really true or not.

Why don't they give a target Price for the Kit. It would have to be expensive now wouldn't it. What would something like this have to cost..........

Or is it all just a big scam..............

Landing Gear,

He claimed industrial plastic, whatever ~that~ is....

I wonder how many yards of concrete I would have to pour for the diorama (:>

Landing Gear,

well the landing gear is plastic. did he ever say what the plane was made of?

Well, it would sit nice in a diorama with a C-5 and a C-141 in the same scale. When will we se those kits?

The 1/72 ID Models C-5 is vacuformed with, IIRC, metal landing gear and can make up into a nice model. I think that it is still available from Heritage in the UK.

Nova Models did 1/72 vacuform C-141A and B models, also nice builds. It will take more of a search, but the results are worth it.

Panda announced a C-17, but that's dubious, at best. Anigrand is offering a cast resin in 1/72 which should be good.

Of course you have to build in 1/72 to get everything that you want in modeling. Current count of aircraft kits in 1/72 from the MAI/ESM 72 database:15,663. What was that other scale again? :-)

Plenty of wheels under it for support. Which, some to think of it, would be good training for you suck 'n blow types to try an armor model. I always said airplane modelers were simply scared of wheels... :-)
