Revell of Germany lists a 1/144th scale C-17 Globemaster kit. This would be an ideal addition to the Thunderbirds project I did many years ago. This is the support airplane they now use, according to a message I received from the Thunderbirds press office. Is this kit available yet? If it is does anyone know of a hobby shop where I can buy one. My wife wants to know what I would like for Christmas. This would be a perfect gift. The only other kit I have seen listed is a vacuumed kit but it costs upwards of $100. She’ll never go for that.
Yup
On display in plastic on the Revel stand at Telford
looks good, I’ll post pics when I get a chance
Here’s a shot I took of it on Revell’s stand.
According to Revell’s website, this kit is supposed to be released this month (November), but I still haven’t seen one around yet. I must have it!!
well, the guy behind the Revell stand, doing the Alclad Demo, had one unpainted
The Revell spokesman interviewed on Hyperscale said that the kit would be available in Mid-November. http://www.hyperscale.com/what’s.htm Probably available first in Europe, then the rest of the world.
