There is a place called HeavyKits.com but just now the site won't come up. I've seen the 747 on eBay. Bring your checkbook.

I've seen them before but I always get outbid at the last second! I hate it!! The only kit I haven't seen was the 1/72 scale c-17 Kit!

Combat makes a C-17. I have one in my stash, tho I kitbashed one about

10 years ago. I have a spare DC-10, but not the KC-10 parts. I'll sell it. Won't be cheap, tho.

How much are you asking for it? Can you give me an e-mail?

Tehy do the 747 (plus parts for a Shuttle carrier), DC-10 and KC_10 conversion parts. Right now they don't do a C-17, but as mentioned in another post, Combat Models makes one. NOTE: Combat is a description of the build as well as a trade name.

My company Masterpiece Models was going to vacuumform Heavykits first model the Hughes Hk-1 Hercules. We recieved a CNC machined master that was totally useless. We sent it back telling Heaykits to try again. I think they ran out of money for the project's. too bad actually they were going to do an AN-5, C-5 Galaxy and several other large cargo carriers The HK-1 fuselage was 3 1/2 ft long. Very cool size but where would you put it cheers John

That would be the four-engined Antonov An-124 'Ruslan' and the six-engined An-225 'Mriya'.

I pointed Heavykits to some useful drawings - and was sent some photos of the test masters for the An-124.

He even had me down on his website as doing a build.........

Pity that it has folded - I was looking forward to the Antonov's to go with my Amodel An-22 and the rest of my Antonov collection.

Somebody did some for them. They sell on eBay & I have one.

How Much Do you want for your spare dc-10???

Just for my curiousness, what do you mean saying that the machined master was useless? Was this circumstance related to the fact of being CNC machined or was it simply a matter of wrong engineering of the molds? BTW such a big fuselage would be more suitable for resin molding rather than vacuum forming. I'm thinking about the Amodel Antonov AN.22, for example.
